Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source order for repair and maintenance services for 2005 Case Backhoe 580M Services. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITVE PROPOSALS. * The United States Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Pacific Region Office (PRO), intends to award a contract to Sonsray Machinery, a Non-Indian Owned Business, for highly specialized repair and maintenance services for a Case Manufactured Backhoe in Sacramento, CA. These services will be obtained under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Source and No Supplies or Services will satisfy Agency Requirements". * Sonsray Machinery possesses unique qualifications as they are the only locally authorized Case dealer in the Sacramento area. The next nearest dealer is 45 miles away. They work specifically with Case equipment and parts and have the expertise to work on a Case Manufacturer backhoe, which is currently inoperable. Using an unauthorized Case dealer would void all service existing warranties. * No solicitation is available, and no technical questions will be answered for this requirement. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 811310 and the Business Size Standard is $12.5 Million. If a firm believes that BIA should not pursue this procurement, it should submit an email justifying why by 5pm Pacific on August 22, 2023 to Jodi Zachary, Contract Specialist, at [email protected].
