About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Consilium Marine US, Inc. for repairs and a fire and gas detection system upgrade to Crane Barge Hendricks, with a notice-of-intent response deadline of July 14, 2026. The procurement is non-personal services and will be conducted under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 12.102(a) for acquiring commercial services from a single source.
The existing CS4000 fire detection system is proprietary to Consilium Safety Group, the original equipment manufacturer. The system requires proprietary software, diagnostic tools, and parts that only Consilium-certified technicians can access and service. The planned upgrade to a new Consilium system is likewise proprietary, and the agency asserts that only the OEM can ensure proper integration, functionality, and safety-regulatory compliance. Use of an unauthorized third-party vendor would void the warranty and create unacceptable risks to this critical life-safety system, according to the notice.
Work is performed at the Pine Bluff Marine Terminal in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The Consilium vendor is located in Davie, Florida (CAGE: 3EGT0; UEI: D49D3QD6GK7).
Although this notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes, any responsible source believing it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for agency consideration.
Notice text
The Department of War (DoW), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District (SWL), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Consilium Marine US, Inc, (CAGE: 3EGT0), UEI: D49D3QD6GK7), located at Davie, Florida. This is a non-personal services purchase order to provide repairs to Crane Barge Hendricks located at the Pine Bluff Marine Terminal in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.This action will be conducted under the authority of Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a) - Soliciting from a single source for acquiring commercial services. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source based on the following rationale:The existing CS4000 fire detection system is a proprietary product of Consilium Safety Group, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The system requires specialized, proprietary software, diagnostic tools, and parts for service and maintenance. Consilium is the only company that employs technicians certified to work on this equipment and its successor platforms.The planned upgrade to the new Consilium system is also a proprietary solution. An upgrade performed by the OEM is the only way to ensure proper integration, functionality, and compliance with safety regulations. A third-party vendor would not have access to the proprietary hardware, software, or the training necessary to safely and effectively perform the upgrade. Attempting to use an unauthorized vendor would void any warranty and introduce unacceptable risks to this critical life-safety system. Therefore, Consilium Safety Group is the only source capable of providing the required supplies and services.This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.Responses must be submitted via email to Deborah.Oswalt@usace.army.mil no later than 10:00 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, 14 July, 2026.
