NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE

This is a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT using Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR PART 6.302-1; only one responsible source and not other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. In addition, pursuant to FAR 5.202(a)(2) posting will be abbreviated to 5 days. The 161st ARW Arizona Air National Guard, 3200 E Old Tower Rd Phoenix, AZ 85034 has a requirement to procure Aircraft Wheel Washer as a follow-on to end of lifecycle unit acquired twenty years ago. The new unit fits directly into the very same footprint as the old one with seamless plumbing and electrical hookups. Additionally, the new unit provides for an all-on one fully integrated (by design) solution to clean with a proprietary oscillating manifold (available in no other solution) which not only accesses all surfaces without impediment but also cleans off baked on rubber bead without damage to wheel surfaces, and also includes as an integrated (not bolt-on accessory) grease/water separation feature to allow for bearing cleaning withing the same unit. Such a solution not only fits in the exact same profile but solves the space restriction problem our unit faces with a premium on facility real estate, and low frequency and volume through-put wash cycles. The new unit is as follows: The Arizona Air National Guard intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to XXXXXXX. Requirement is for the delivery FOB destination of an aircraft wheel washer with fully integrated oscillating manifold and water/grease separator. In the absence of any other qualified sources, a contract will be awarded under the Other than Full and Open Competition procedures pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
