Notice of intent to award a sole source order

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Central Office has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Order for Retardant On-Demand Services. The notice pertains to a Firm-Fixed Price order to be placed against the USDA Forest Service National Blanket Purchase Agreement (No. 1202SC22T2602). Specifically, the BIA intends to award the order to Perimeter Solutions LP, which is the only vendor with the required Qualified Product List (QPL) Approval and Certification for fire retardant products. This procurement is restricted to approved companies eligible for orders under the USDA Forest Service National Blanket Purchase Agreements. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive proposal request and is a sole source procurement.

Contractors interested in challenging this sole source procurement must submit detailed justification by June 11, 2025, at 3:30 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Submissions must be made electronically to michelle.cruzsalum@bia.gov and include specific requirements such as the vendor's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) Number and the applicable NAICS code (115310). The email subject line, body, and/or attachments must include the title "Retardant Services". Eligible contractors must provide clear evidence, a capability statement, and pricing information to be considered. The procurement falls under the Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310) and Natural Resources/Conservation- Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC F003) categories. No technical questions will be answered, and only electronic submissions will be accepted through the specified email channel.
