Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made because: This special notice is issued as a single source request for 3500 gallons of Jet A Fuel for Polar Bear capture helicopter North of Kivalina on the Chukchi Sea coastline between March 11 through May 10, 2013. There is no airstrip located at the port site and no other aircraft operate at the port during this time period. Thus, the fuel used from the tank is used solely by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The tank is filled from a larger tank that is located at the inland mine site and transported by road to the port site. Teckcominco Alaska, Inc transports fuel via truck from their mine site along a local road that they maintain to the port site tank. Red Dog mine and port site are owned and operated by Teckcominco Alaska Incorporated. There is no airstrip at the port site thus fuel can only be transported to the site via barge, helicopter, or the road between the mine and the port. In addition, we would have to coordinate the use of any outside suppliers with Teckcominco Alaska who owns and operates the port site.
