Z -- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT

Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Procurement. The Government intends to issue a sole source contract to construct a new ladder and safety climb system extending the full length of a 625-foot guyed LORAN C tower. The new ladder will conform to OSHA standards and provide a significantly safer means of inspecting and conducting maintenance on the tower. Award will be made on a sole source basis to Stainless LLC, 1140 Welsh Road, Suite 250, North Wales, PA. 19454-4205. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii) , “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements”. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made because Stainless LLC is the original designer and own the proprietary rights to the drawings. They are the only acceptable source for this requirement. Questions should be directed to Audrey L. Overholt in writing via email: [email protected]; or by fax (216) 902-6277/6278.
