About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract to George J Hayden, Inc. The notice pertains to an emergency procurement and installation of a new 15kv ground operated air brake switch to replace a damaged existing unit. The contract will be a Firm Fixed-Price sole source award, with the primary objective of addressing critical infrastructure needs at a specific facility. USACE has determined that only one source is available for this specialized service, which is essential to prevent potential service disruption, project failure, and mitigate risks to property and life. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 237990 for Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, with a size standard of $45 million.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to communicate the government's intent to award a non-competitive contract due to unique circumstances requiring immediate action. The contract will require the selected contractor to provide all necessary equipment, labor, and materials for installing the air brake switch according to specified performance requirements. No competitive quotes or proposals are being solicited, and the government will not honor requests for capability briefings or telephonic inquiries related to this notice. The sole source justification is based on FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), which allows for follow-on contracts involving highly specialized services from the original source. The contract's determination of non-competition remains entirely at the government's discretion, and any responses to the notice will not be used in subsequent solicitation requirements. The due date for any potential responses is January 2, 2025, though the notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive procurement process.
