84--Intent to award a sole source contract: Neptunic Technologies, Inc.

**THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION.** **NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE.** Under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), *circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available,* the U.S. Army Natick Contracting Division, Kansas Street, Natick, MA intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Neptunic Technologies, Inc, of 2308 Kettner Blvd, Ste D, San Diego, CA 92101. The US Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), San Diego, CA has a requirement for samples of flame & heat resistant anti-abrasion penetration and laceration textiles manufactured by Neptunic Technologies. NHRC intends to perform tests on these samples to validate independently Neptunics performance specifications. Since this requirement is intended to help NHRC characterize Neptunics products, products of a similar type, but manufactured by a different source, cannot meet NHRCs needs.
