Notice of Intent to award Sole Source

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth has issued a Special Notice concerning a sole source contract for the 628th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Charleston. The notice, posted on May 16, 2025, with a response deadline of June 7, 2025, outlines the intent to award a contract to GSL Solutions for an automated storage cabinet for the Medical Treatment Facility at Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station. The procurement is being conducted under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which allows for a non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Market research was performed to confirm GSL Solutions as the sole source for this specific requirement. The contract opportunity is identified by Reference Number FA4418-18-Q-0128.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to award a sole source contract without a full competitive process. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources are invited to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on responses received. Contractors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the notice and understand that the information submitted will primarily be used to assess the potential for a competitive procurement. Eligibility is open to sources that can demonstrate capability to meet the specific requirement for an automated storage cabinet. The notice emphasizes that any submitted information will be evaluated under the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5.207(c)(15)(ii) and FAR 6.302-1(b)(ii). Potential contractors should note that the government's decision not to compete the requirement is entirely at its discretion.
