About this opportunity
The Pennsylvania Army National Guard has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Williams Scotsman Inc. (DBA Willscot) for the rental of five 40-foot refrigerated containers with remote monitoring systems. The contract is valued as a firm-fixed-price purchase order covering the period from August 26, 2025 to April 9, 2026. The containers will be deployed at Fort Indiantown Gap to support ongoing food storage operations for the Pennsylvania National Guard's Troop Issue Subsistence Activities (TISA) warehouse. This facility provides rations for military units conducting training exercises at the installation. The agency has classified this procurement under NAICS code 493120 (Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage) and PSC code W041 (Lease or Rental of Refrigeration Equipment).
The sole source justification stems from operational continuity requirements and cost efficiency considerations at Fort Indiantown Gap. Willscot currently has refrigerated containers on-site supporting a temporary DMVA construction contract for warehouse renovations, and these units are already connected to the base power grid and filled with perishable food products. The National Guard determined that soliciting competitive bids would create unacceptable risks including service interruptions that could negatively impact soldier feeding operations and training missions, potential spoilage of stored food products, and increased overall costs. The procurement authority is established under FAR 13.106-1(b) for rental services with single source negotiation. The agency anticipates issuing a written solicitation immediately following this notice, with contract award expected by August 22, 2025.
Notice text
The United States Property and Fiscal Office for Pennsylvania intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Williams Scotsman Inc. DBA Willscot for the rental of five (5) each, 40 Foot Refrigerated Containers with 3 Phase Power- Hi Cube and include a Remote Monitoring System. The anticipated period of performance is from August 26, 2025 to April 09, 2026.
The reason for this noncompetitive contract action is that Willscot, currently has refrigeration containers on site at Fort Indiantown Gap for a Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veteran Affairs (DMVA) construction contract to renovate the Troop Issue Subsistence Activities (TISA) warehouse. This warehouse is used to store and provide rations for units training on Fort Indiantown Gap. However, the refrigerated storage included in state construction contract was only for a temporary basis and not to support ongoing food storage and handling operations required by the Pennsylvania National Guard. The refrigerated containers currently onsite are already hooked to the Fort Indiantown Gap power grid and filled with fresh and frozen food products. Therefore, making an award a sole basis is in the best interest of the Government. Any service interruption will have a negative impact on the feeding of Soldiers and to training operations. Soliciting to another source will result in increased costs and place food products currently being storage at risk of being damaged or spoiled.
This contract action is for rental services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This contract action will be awarded following the issuance of written solicitation with an anticipated award date of August 22, 2025.
