Office relocation of sensitive equipment and supplies

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Joint Administrative Operations, Acquisition & Property Operations has issued a Special Notice regarding their intent to award a sole source contract for office relocation services. This notice specifically relates to the moving of sensitive laboratory equipment and supplies, with the agency planning to award the contract under FAR 6.302-1 authority to Treasure State Movers LLC of Bozeman, Montana. The contract falls under NAICS code 484210 for Used Household and Office Goods Moving and involves a firm fixed price arrangement. The agency emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive quotes but rather a notification of their sole source procurement intention. The posting date is June 25, 2025, with responses due by July 7, 2025.

The primary objective of this sole source award is to secure specialized moving services for sensitive laboratory equipment and supplies, including careful packaging, transportation, and unpacking at a new facility location. While the agency intends to proceed with the sole source contract to Treasure State Movers LLC, they have provided an opportunity for other interested parties to submit capability statements if they believe competition would benefit the government. Any capability statements must be submitted via email as Adobe PDF attachments to jeremy_riva@fws.gov and must contain clear and convincing evidence that opening the requirement to competition would be advantageous. Interested parties should note that all costs associated with preparing and submitting responses are their sole responsibility and will not be reimbursed by the government. The notice clarifies that responses do not constitute a formal solicitation process but rather an opportunity to challenge the sole source determination.
