V--Notice of Intent to Sole Source-Extension of Services

Notice of intent to sole source and exercise the extension of services clause for an additional six months of stevedoring and related terminal services in the Port of Nordenham, Germany. This extension is made to a contract originally awarded on a sole source basis. The follow on contract will also be awarded to the same sole source contractor as they are a sole provider of services in this port. The need of this extension is to alleviate any risk of break in service while the new sole source contract is negotiated with the same contractor by a new procuring contracting office. The current contracting office is transitioning this contract to a stateside contracting office, thus the time required to plan and transition these services. This is not a request for proposal only a notice of our intent to award this extension of services on a sole source basis to the current sole source contractor.
