About this opportunity

This Special Notice was published by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Basin, Yuma Area Office announcing their intent to negotiate and award a non-competitive contract to Pipestone Equipment, LLC. The Bureau of Reclamation requires three new surge protection pressure vessel tanks and appurtenances to expand their 242 well field.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide information on the Bureau's requirement for additional surge tanks that are consistent with their existing Charlatte America brand system to properly operate and communicate with the rest of the infrastructure. As Pipestone Equipment, LLC is the only approved vendor for Charlatte America tanks in Arizona, and the design and construction are uniquely required to meet specifications, the Bureau intends to negotiate solely with Pipestone. Interested parties were instructed to direct any inquiries in writing by May 20th. The anticipated award date is June 1, 2022, and justification and details will be posted to SAM.gov after award. This Special Notice serves only as notification and no competitive proposals or solicitations are being requested.
