Notice of intent to sole source

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for maintenance services related to Siemens Apogee HVAC control systems at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. Posted on November 19, 2025, with a due date of November 20, 2025, this special notice announces the government's intent to award a contract on a non-competitive basis under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. The notice identifies Powers-HVAC as the sole authorized supplier capable of providing the required services due to proprietary system constraints. This procurement involves troubleshooting, repair, training, and maintenance services for HVAC systems across 11 buildings at the facility. The contracting activity emphasizes that the sole source designation is justified by the exclusive technical access and proprietary software capabilities required to support Siemens equipment properly.

The primary objective of this acquisition is to ensure proper maintenance and support of the Siemens Apogee HVAC systems while minimizing system downtime through factory-certified technicians and proprietary software updates. The government has established a one-day response window, with the notice posted November 19, 2025, and closing November 20, 2025, though this timeframe applies to the notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation. This procurement falls under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with contract value exceeding $3,500 but remaining below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for offers, and any information submitted will be used solely to evaluate potential future competitive procurements at the government's discretion. Interested parties should contact Angela Rouse at angela.m.rouse3.civ@army.mil for additional information, and the government retains full authority to determine whether future acquisitions will be competed.
