Notice of Sole Source Intent This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. The Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Regional Office intends to exercise Option Year II, the final option year, of Purchase Order Number R10PX67017 for Gas Detection Equipment Maintenance services at the Montana Area Office, Billings, Montana. Reclamation has found DXP Enterprises, Inc. to be the only source authorized to maintain the equipment. This option is being exercised pursuant to FAR Part 17 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Since Reclamation believes that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the agency's requirements, a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition was prepared on September 3, 2010. The Government intends to exercise the option on September 1, 2012. Vendors that have questions regarding the sole source nature of the requirement or vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer. In order to allow for sufficient Government consideration and potential quote evaluation, vendors shall submit their written Letter of Interest no later than August 15, 2012. Responses received after August 15, 2012 may not be considered by the Government.
