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 patented Resonant Acoustic Mixing (RAM) Technology Mixers required at McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. The agency intends to award this procurement to a single authorized supplier, Resodyn Acoustic Mixers Incorporated, under simplified acquisition procedures. This sole source approach is being utilized because only this vendor possesses the proprietary technology necessary to ensure uniform compatibility and performance with existing integrated equipment and systems already in place. The procurement will be awarded under "other than full and open competition" authority as permitted by FAR 6.302-1. The notice was posted on August 25, 2025, and responses are due by September 4, 2025.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's intent to procure specialized RAM55 spare parts and RAM acceleration components without competitive bidding due to the unique technical requirements. This is not a request for offers, and contractors should note that the government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with sole source procurement based on any responses received. Only Resodyn Acoustic Mixers Incorporated is eligible to participate as the authorized supplier of this proprietary technology, which cannot be substituted with alternative products. The procurement falls under the simplified acquisition threshold and involves fixed-price pricing for components that are essential for integration into the government's existing system. Any information received will primarily be used to assess whether future competitive procurements for similar items might be feasible.
