13 -- MPG Grenade and Cartridges

The U.S. Department of State’s Office of Acquisition Management plans to award a sole source contract to Militech International LLC, based in Sterling, VA, for the purchase of 980 N-110T MPG Talc Practice Grenades and 980 C-200 Cartridges designed for the T110 system. These items are compatible with the Department of State’s existing equipment, and Militech International is recognized as the sole distributor capable of providing them. The contract is being awarded under the authority allowing for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists, as specified by federal regulations. The solicitation, identified by number SAQMMA07M1234 and posted in September 2007, falls under the NAICS code 339999. Interested parties are informed that this contract action is for informational purposes, and they are encouraged to reach out to the designated point of contact, Vincent J. Sanchez, for further inquiries. The action underscores the exclusive nature of the supply source due to the specific equipment compatibility, reinforcing the rationale for the sole source procurement approach. This ensures continuity and compatibility within the Department’s operational equipment without the need for extensive competition or alternative sourcing.
