FY25-29 D41 btoolkit(ITD)

The US Marshals Service, under the Department of Justice, has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract for the District of Minnesota's Internet services. This notice pertains to solicitation number 15M10225QA4700227, which involves a firm fixed price contract with an estimated total value of less than $43,000. The contract structure includes a 4-month base period followed by four 12-month option periods, spanning fiscal years 2025-2029. The agency is seeking a waiver from competitive bidding requirements under FAR 13.106 for this procurement action. The contracting officer Kate Oravitz Weeks will handle all communications related to this notice.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors and the public of the government's intention to proceed with a sole source award rather than conducting a competitive procurement. Questions or comments regarding this notice must be submitted via email to the contracting officer by August 7, 2025, with specific subject line formatting requirements. This is explicitly not a request for quotes or proposals, and the government will not reimburse any costs incurred by parties responding to this notice. No eligibility criteria are specified since this is a sole source procurement, meaning the government has already identified a specific contractor for award. The determination to avoid competition remains at the government's discretion, and phone calls or voicemail messages will not be accepted or answered.
