NOTICE OF SOLE SOURCE INTENT

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES

The Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Missouri Basin Regional Office intends to award a purchase order to Damon Designs, Inc. for two floating rolling dock systems with carriage frame and rollers to be located at Clark Canyon Reservoir, Beaverhead and Lewis and Clark Campgrounds.

The ease of moving the docks in or out of the water without the need for heavy equipment to do so and their ability to adjust on their own to the constantly changing water levels is needed for the government’s request. Salient Characteristic List is attached.

Reclamation anticipates Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 140R6026Q0017 for this requirement will be issued to the System for Award Management (SAM) website on or around March 11, 2026, as a sole source requirement. The quote will be due approximately 30 business days after the solicitation is issued. Government anticipates an award on or around May 11, 2026.

Reclamation’s experience is that only one responsible source, Damon Designs, Inc., can provide the products needed that will satisfy the agency’s requirements. A Determination to Solicit from a

Single Source is being prepared. The Bureau of Reclamation has determined not to compete this contract, pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a

Single Source. For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract deem only one source reasonably available. This procurement will be conducted using

Simplified Acquisition Procedures with only one reasonably available source.

Vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification and capability statement to the Contract Specialist. In order to allow for sufficient Government consideration and potential quote evaluation, vendors must submit their written Letter of Interest and capability statement no later than February 9, 2026, at 3:00 PM MDT. Responses received after February 9, 2026, may not be considered by the Government.

Letters of Interest and capability statement in response to this notice must be emailed to the Contract Specialist, Sydney Oakes, at soakes@usbr.gov. All responses should include the vendor’s SAM Unique Entity Identification (UEI) Number and Tax Identification Number (TIN). Vendors should additionally identify themselves as either a “small business” or an “other than small business” under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 488310- Port and Harbor Operations. The Small Business Administration small business size standard for NAICS 488310 is $47 million.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive requirement.

Any vendor interested in doing business with the Federal Government must be registered in the SAM database at the time an offer or quotation is submitted. SAM is a Federal Government-owned and operated FREE website that consolidates the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Online

Representation and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS).
