28--Notice of Intent to Sole Source / Sources Sought to Coastal Aerospace - Turbine

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Coastal Aerospace for a Honeywell Garret Gas Turbine GTCP36-50 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU).
