Water Storage Tank

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has published a Special Notice announcing its intention to issue a sole source award to Octagon Services, Inc. dba TanksDirect for water storage tank maintenance and repair services. The procurement involves repairing the access way from the parking lot to an underground storage tank, installing a water level monitoring system, and adding a corresponding display panel. The CPSC has determined this is an urgent and compelling requirement necessary for investigating consumer product safety and improving product safety standards. The agency intends to award this as a simplified acquisition under FAR Subpart 12 and 13 procedures, with authority under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1) and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)1. This Special Notice was posted on June 10, 2025, with responses due by June 17, 2025.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of CPSC's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other qualified contractors to express interest and demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit capability statements in writing via email to the Contract Specialist at drushbrook@cpsc.gov by 2:00 pm Eastern Time on June 24, 2025, within seven business days of the notice issuance. The government will consider all responses received within this timeframe, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive quotations. Phone calls will not be accepted, and all submissions must be in writing. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to compete this procurement based on responses received, and any contractor interested in participating must demonstrate their ability to meet the specified underground storage tank maintenance and monitoring system installation requirements.
