Parking

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Allentown Parking Authority for the acquisition of parking spaces. The DEA plans to award a firm-fixed price purchase order through FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This procurement falls under NAICS code 812930 and is classified as a civilian agency acquisition. The notice was posted on July 9, 2025, with a capability statement submission deadline of July 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST. The contracting agency retains sole discretion in determining whether to open the requirement to full competition based on responses received.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide market notice of the DEA's intended sole source procurement while allowing other potential vendors to demonstrate their capabilities to meet the government's parking space requirements. Contractors who believe they can fulfill the stated requirements may submit capability statements electronically to Sonya.L.Maxwell@dea.gov by the July 15th deadline. The notice explicitly states that no Request for Quotation is available and that this announcement does not constitute a request for competitive quotation. In accordance with FAR regulations, the government's justification for sole source procurement will be posted 14 days following contract award. All interested vendors must demonstrate their ability to provide the specific parking services required by the DEA through their capability statements.
