About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source acquisition under FAR Subpart 13.5 to purchase a control panel from Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP) Western Currency Facility (WCF). The control panel will connect to the existing Anguil regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO), which is critical air pollution control equipment for the printing operations. The J&A justifies a sole source award to Anguil as the manufacturer of the equipment, citing the need for compatibility, continuity of operations, and Anguil's proprietary technology. The contracting activity plans to issue a synopsis on the Government Point of Entry to afford other potential sources an opportunity to submit capability statements, but expects to award a one-year, firm-fixed price contract to Anguil based on a fair and reasonable price determination.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Special Notice announcing the intent to award a sole source contract to Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. for the RTO control panel. The notice invites interested sources to submit capability statements by July 17, 2024, but states that this is not a request for bids, quotes, or proposals, and the government has determined not to compete this requirement based on market research. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is the responsible federal agency.
