SPECIAL NOTICE FOR SOLE SOURCE SLEEVE VALVE

Mesa Verde National Park intends to award a Sole Source contract to Bailey Valve under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the purpose of providing the park with an identical back-up operation of their current drinking water system. The Government believes that Bailey Valve is the only responsible source capable of satisfying this requirement. A justification for other than full and open competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. The estimated dollar value of this acquisition is below $50,000.00. No public Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be issued and no responses will be made to letters or telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation. This is not a request for competitive quotes, but serves as procurement notice to fulfill public posting requirements in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). This requirement is unrestricted and the NAICS code 332911 Industrial Valve Manufacturing applies. Responsible firms believing they can provide the required items are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer. However, they must provide supporting evidence that they can furnish the requested items at a cost that will not exceed the total estimated transaction cost. All responses will be considered for future actions. The Government intends to make award, without delay for this requirement. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Cynthia Markum, Contract Specialist, at (970) 529-5099.
