About this opportunity
The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service (GSA FAS) APEX 1 has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source delivery order to MEQU for the United States Army Program Management Office for Protection and Integration (PM-PI). This special notice announces the agency's intent to procure brand name MEQU equipment, specifically warmer starter kits and warmers, without competitive bidding. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 as a sole source acquisition because MEQU is identified as the only distributor capable of providing the required specialized equipment. The notice emphasizes that this is not a solicitation or request for proposals, and no solicitation package will be made available. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) arrangement under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15.404-1.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement while providing an opportunity for other sources to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors have until July 26, 2025, to submit capability statements to the contracting officer for consideration. To participate, potential suppliers must provide current Federal Supply Schedule or open market pricing catalogs demonstrating their ability to supply the required items, along with complete company information including name, point of contact, business type and size, CAGE code, and Unique Entity ID. All participating contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received, with any information submitted being used solely to assess whether competitive bidding is warranted.
Notice text
NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE
This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
GSA Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) APEX 1 hereby gives notice of intent to award a sole source delivery order to MEQU to provide the United States Army Program Management Office for Protection and Integration (PM-PI) with brand name supplies listed in the attached Bill of Materials (BOM).
This effort will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. This is being sole sourced to MEQU based on the fact that they are the only distributor of the required brand name MEQU equipment. Therefore, they are the only source capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. Purchase of these supplies from a source other than MEQU using commercial procedures would result in additional costs and potential schedule delays.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement to the Contracting Officer(s) listed below which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed delivery order based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
There will be no written solicitation issued. This is an intent to purchase a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This will be a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.404-1.
Those capable of providing the supplies listed in the BOM are requested to provide the following information in their response NLT close of this posting:
1) Current Federal Supply Schedule or open market pricing catalog (as applicable) that demonstrates your company is able to supply these items; and
2) Company Name, Point of Contact, Email Address, Telephone Numbers, Type of Business and Size, Cage Code and Unique Entity ID.
The contractor needs to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Register via the SAM website https://www.sam.gov.
