Notice of Intent to Sole Source:

This is a special notice prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2 "Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions."

US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District intends to negotiate/award a sole-source contract with Hagler Systems Inc.

USACE Moorings requires redundancy in specific components for quick replacement of essential damaged or inoperable equipment due to the nature of the work and the compressed schedule of dredging operations within the year. Dredging commercial waterways is a necessity to maintaining economic viability as well as maritime security and transportation.

USACE requires the acquisition of replacement dredge pump components to ensure operational function as normal abrasive damage decreases efficiency or causes inoperability. The components required utilize propriety designs from Georgia Iron Works (GIW) which is currently not produced by another manufacturer or provided by another distributor other than Hagler Systems.

The statutory authority for this non-competitive acquisition is FAR 13.106(b)(1) For actions for commercial supplies or services not exceeding the SAT, the requirements of FAR 13.106(b)(1) apply to single source acquisitions conducted pursuant to FAR part 13.

A SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE POSTED. The Government intends to proceed with this sole source action. The NAICS code is 332999 - All other miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing. The size standard for this NAICS code defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration is 750 employees.

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS OR
QUOTATIONS. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Electronic responses and questions shall be submitted via email to Joshua.d.fellwock@usace.army.mil.
