The Rock Island District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), intends to procure this requirement on a sole source basis in accordance with the statute of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, intends to enter into a firm fixed price contract with Ross Labs LLC, 180 W Dayton St Ste 202 Edmonds, WA 98020-4160. Although a number of individual parts of the repair could be done by a number of vendors, much of the equipment is proprietary to Ross Labs and it would not be in the best interest of the Government to dry dock the vessel twice. The NAICS code for this procurement is 811490, with a size standard of $7,500,000.00.
