10 -- Water/Avon Disruptor Canons

The U.S. Department of State, Office of Acquisition Management plans to award a sole source contract to Royal Arms International Inc. for the procurement of specialized equipment, including the RADC-18 18" Water/Avon Disruptor Canon External Breech and various associated accessories such as lockable cases, push rod tools, instruction manuals, electric squibs, steel shot, waxed wads, disruptor pole stands, water plug sets, and 12 gauge shells. This equipment is essential due to unique overseas requirements that cannot be met by any other supplier or product. Royal Arms International is the sole manufacturer capable of providing these items, which justifies the sole source award under the statutory and regulatory authorities allowing for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists. This procurement is guided by the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(2) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. Interested parties offering similar systems are encouraged to contact the designated point of contact, Vincent J Sanchez, although this announcement is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a request for quotes. The contract involves NAICS code 332994 and relates to the acquisition of disruptive canon systems specifically suited to current mission needs.
