About this opportunity

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the National Interagency Fire Center has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole-source contract with BK Technologies (RELM Communications) for manufacturing code BKR0120 Battery Holders. The acquisition requires 1,980 units of battery holders with an estimated value ranging between $193,644 and $322,740 according to conflicting information in the notice. This procurement is authorized under FAR 6.302-1, with the government asserting that BK Technologies is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements. The notice is classified under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing and falls within the PSC category 6135 for Batteries, Nonrechargeable.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to fulfill public posting requirements while preparing to award a non-competitive contract, as no Request for Quotation will be issued. Contractors who believe they can provide comparable battery holders must submit written notification to Contracting Officer Casey Gean Boyd at cmboyd@blm.gov by 5:00 PM Eastern on August 7, 2025, referencing action number 140L3725Q0100. Responding firms must provide convincing evidence that they can furnish the requested items at a cost not exceeding the total estimated transaction cost. The requirement is unrestricted, meaning there are no set-aside provisions limiting participation to specific contractor categories. If no qualifying responses are received by the deadline, BLM will proceed with placing the order with BK Technologies as planned.
