Notice_of_Intent_to_Sole_Source_-_hangar_space.docx

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 5.2, is providing public notification that it intends to negotiate a sole-source purchase with multiple companies for continued hangar leases that include, but not limited to, secure hangar/prep space and quick access to facility and runway 24 hours a day.

The leasing companies and locations:

1. Million Air Indianapolis – Indianapolis International Airport

2. Gibbs Flying Service – Monterey Field, San Diego, CA

3. Cheyenne Air Center – Las Vegas, NV

4. Tac Air – Salt Lake City International Airport

5. Atlantic Aviation – Albuquerque International Airport In accordance with Competition in Contracting Act, 41 USC 253(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, other than full and open competition is authorized when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 488119 Other Airport Operations. The Government anticipates the award of a firm-fixed price purchase order. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotation. A Request of Quotation (RFQ) is not available.

This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ). While the use of performance specifications is preferred by the government to encourage offerors to propose innovative solutions, the continued use of the facilities and secure hangar/prep space and quick access to facility and runway 24 hours a day is advantageous under this circumstance as noted above.
