54--Intent to Sole Source Notice

The U.S. Army, Fort Carson, Colorado, intends to negotiate a sole-source purchase order with Sprung Instant Structures for a retrofit package for insulating an existing Sprung Instant Structures building purchased in 2003 but never assembled. A technical consultant will be acquired as well to instruct the Government on how to assemble the existing materials, add the retro fit package, and will provide specialty tools needed for assembly. This is a sole source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)) and (FAR 13.501). THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES, however; any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer by 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time on 8 March 2011. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements listed above. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the sole source negotiation. Responses are due 8 March 2009 12:00pm Mountain Time. Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to [email protected]. Telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted.
