--Notice To Award A Sole Source Procurement

Under the authority of FAR 6.302-2, it is the intent of the Government to award a sole source interim contract to Valdez International Corporation for Transportation Motor Pool Operations services. This interim contract award serves to extend the p eriod of performance for the existing Transportation Motor Pool Operations contract at Fort Carson, CO; for a period of three (3) months, from 1 Feb 2008 through 30 Apr 2008, while a long-term follow-on contract is awarded. Due to the unusual and compelli ng urgency to extend the period of performance, it has been determined that use of another contractor during this short, interim period would likely incur excessive costs, and not allow for an adequate phase-in period needed for providing a continuous acce ptable level of performance. This is not a formal solicitation. This synopsis is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal. No solicitation document is available and no contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The determination by the Government not to compete the requirement described herein is solely within the discretion of the Government, and contract award to Valdez International Corporation will be made without further notice. Any response or inqu iry to this notice must be made in writing. No telephone calls regarding this notice will be accepted.
