16--Special Notice: Intent to Sole-Source

The United States Property and Fiscal Office for Connecticut plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Ultrax Aerospace, Inc. for the calibration of a SCATS Series II system. This contract will be awarded without full and open competition due to the unique qualification of Ultrax Aerospace as the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s requirements. The procurement follows the Other than Full and Open Competition procedures under FAR 13.106-1(b). The announcement explicitly states that telephonic inquiries will not be accepted, and it is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. Interested and qualified parties are required to respond in writing by 10:00 AM on August 8th, 2014, providing evidence supporting the benefit of competition for future procurements. Offers must be submitted via email with confirmation of receipt at the specified address. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541511, with the Department of Defense’s W7MZ Uspfo Activity Ct Arng in Hartford, Connecticut, serving as the awarding office. The decision not to compete this requirement is at the government’s discretion, and any challenge to the sole source justification must be clearly documented and timely submitted.
