Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for environmental water and sediment sampling, analysis, and reporting services at McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. This special notice was posted on December 10, 2025, with a response deadline of December 17, 2025. The procurement will be awarded as a simplified acquisition using sole source authority under FAR 6.302-1, meaning it will not be subject to full and open competition. The notice indicates that Green Country Testing is the sole authorized supplier identified as capable of meeting the government's requirements. This is not a formal request for offers, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award or conduct future competitive procurements.

The primary objective of this procurement is to secure continued laboratory services that maintain uniform data quality, sampling consistency, and continuity of laboratory methods for environmental monitoring at the facility. Green Country Testing is the only contractor currently approved by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and already has an established contract in place for state-required reporting, making it the sole source for this specialized requirement. Failure to maintain these laboratory services could result in state-mandated violations and associated fines for non-compliance with required sampling and analysis protocols. The purchase order will be issued under simplified acquisition procedures with fixed-price pricing, and the contract value will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Interested parties may submit information by December 17, 2025, though responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether future competitive procurements should be conducted for this requirement.
