Intent to Solicit & Negotiate with Global Ground Support

The Utah Air National Guard intends to sole source negotiate a contract with Global Ground Support, LLC for de-icer truck parts. The solicitation notice states that UTANG will procure nozzle assemblies and other vehicular components from Global Ground Support, which as the original equipment manufacturer is the only authorized provider for maintenance and repair of these specialized vehicles. A sole source justification cites that the required parts are proprietary and unavailable elsewhere. Interested parties have until January 26, 2024 to respond to this pre-solicitation notice of intent, though no competitive bids or proposals will be considered as the sole award will be made to Global Ground Support based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i).

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The listed NAICS code is 336390 for other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing. As the incumbent and OEM, Global Ground Support is identified as the expected awardee to provide an unknown quantity of de-icer truck parts for an unspecified budget or period of performance.
