FT clinch law enforcment services (LE)

The Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SWFLANT) has issued a Special Notice for law enforcement services at Fort Clinch, intending to award a firm-fixed-price contract directly to the City of Fernandina Beach Police Department. This non-competitive contract is specifically for providing law enforcement services in support of SWFLANT operations and security requirements. The agency has determined that the Fernandina Beach Police Department is the sole vendor capable of meeting their specific needs. The contract falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561612 for Security Guards and Patrol Services, with a PSC code of R430 for Professional Physical Security and Badging support. This Special Notice represents the government's intent to negotiate with a single source under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5.

Interested contractors have until noon on February 14, 2025, to demonstrate their capability to provide comparable services and potentially compete for the contract. To be considered, vendors must submit a written response via email to SPK12CONTRACTS@swflant.navy.mil that provides clear and convincing evidence of how competition could be advantageous to the government. All responding vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide concise documentation proving their bona fide capability to perform the required services. The government emphasizes that this notice is not a formal request for proposals but rather an opportunity for potential vendors to express interest and capability. The ultimate decision to proceed with a competitive or non-competitive procurement remains solely at the government's discretion, and no costs incurred by vendors in responding to this notice will be reimbursed. Oral communications are explicitly not acceptable in response to this notice, and all submissions must be in writing.
