Intent to Sole Source - CJIS Car Wash Maintenance

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a maintenance contract for a PDQ Laser Wash 360 Car Wash System at its Automotive Care Facility. This special notice, posted on November 13, 2025, represents a justification for other than full and open competition in federal procurement. The FBI is notifying potential contractors of its intent to award a sole-source contract rather than conduct a competitive bidding process. However, the notice explicitly states that this is not a request for proposals or quotations, and interested parties must submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by the November 28, 2025 deadline at 12:00 p.m. EST. The Government reserves the right to make a final determination on whether to compete this procurement, and no payment will be provided for information submitted in response to this notice.

Simoniz USA has been identified as the sole responsible source for this maintenance contract, as PDQ Manufacturing has designated them as the exclusive authorized service provider for the North Central West Virginia region. The contract covers preventative maintenance, system inspections, parts replacement, and repair services and would run from February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027, with four additional option years available. Only factory-authorized technicians certified by PDQ Manufacturing are eligible to perform the required services to ensure proper operation, warranty preservation, and compliance with original equipment manufacturer standards. Interested contractors must submit responses or inquiries to Contracting Officer Logan Swiger at lswiger2@fbi.gov or Treyton Miller at tmmiller3@fbi.gov. The CJIS Facilities Management Unit intends to continue monitoring the marketplace for potential future competition but currently views Simoniz USA as the only vendor capable of meeting the specialized service requirements.
