Trigger Notches and Spring Pins

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), intends to issue a sole source purchase order with General Products Machine Shop, Inc., for the purchase of 25,000 trigger notches and 25,000 spring pins. The M-44 Trigger Notch and Spring Pin are custom made parts. The Pocatello Supply Depot had the M-44 Trigger Notch and Spring Pin manufactured to specifically mount to their proprietary M-44 ejector bodies. General Product Machine Shop, Inc.

Pocatello Supply Depot has an immediate need to address back logs of orders placed for baits to control the rodent population. The Pocatello Supply Depot manufactures everal bait products used to control nuisance pests. The M-44 Trigger Notch and Spring Pin are essential components of the M-44 Ejector Bodies, Die Cast and Capsule holders; which are a necessary component of the delivery system that is applied when delivering the rodent control bait to the target site. The proposed contract action is for equipment for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiated with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Simplified procurement procedures will be used as well as commercial item acquisition procedures per FAR 12.
