About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New York has issued a Special Notice regarding a construction project for the Modernization of Building 12 in FY25. The notice specifically addresses the procurement of lock cylinders and cores for the project, with a focus on Best Hardware brand components. The Special Notice is categorized under the Hardware Manufacturing NAICS code and is set aside for total small business participation. The government is seeking to identify potential sources for these specific hardware components and is providing an opportunity for vendors to propose equivalent alternatives to the specified brand name items.
Contractors interested in this opportunity have 15 business days from the April 25, 2025 posting date to submit responses demonstrating compatibility with the required lock hardware specifications. The Army intends to solicit brand name components through a competitive solicitation, with the potential for sole sourcing under FAR Part 6.302-1 if no equivalent sources are found. Best Hardware lock cylinders and cores are the standard for non-electronic locks at Picatinny Arsenal, and vendors must ensure compatibility with existing keying systems. The supplies will be provided directly to the contractor(s), not to the government. While this is a notice of intent and not a formal solicitation, it provides an opportunity for vendors to demonstrate their ability to meet the specific hardware requirements for the building modernization project.
