This is an amended notice to correct the time by which the Government will consider information which may be received by those parties who believe they possess the capability to perform these services on a short term basis. The original notice indicated that responses should be provided by 13 February 2014 and that the Government was under no obligation to consider any information received after 12 February 2014. This information is changed to indicate that the Government is under no obligation to consider any information received after 13 February 2014 rather than 12 February 2014. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Avalon Contracting, Inc., to provide continued maintenance and repair services to WWII Buildings on Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA, for a period of approximately four months beginning 1 April 2014. The authority for this sole-source procurement is FAR 6.302-1.
