99--Pre-solicitation Notice of Intent.

The US Army Corps of Engineers intends to negotiate and award, on a sole source basis, a stand-alone, cost plus fixed fee contract for nine months with Fluor Intercontinental, Inc., Greenville, South Carolina. This action is pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, 'Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement.' This action is required to allow for continuity of operations and maintenance services for the Gulf Region Division (GRD) in Iraq for nine months. The current period of performance ends 21 August 2009. Award to any source other than Fluor Intercontinental, Inc would result in unacceptable delays and substantial cost that are considered to be well beyond any cost savings that might be achieved through competition. This action will be awarded via a nine-month stand-alone contract with a period of performance of 22 September 2009 through 30 June 2010. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, this action is directed towards Fluor Intercontinental, Inc. This notice of intent/synopsis is being issued for information purposes only and it is not a request for competitive proposals. Solicitation documents are not available. All responses should be directed to Betty Rogers at [email protected] and must be received within fifteen (15) days from publication of this synopsis. No telephone inquires will be accepted.
