AI Contract Overview

The Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract under FAR Part 13 and FAR 6.302-1, citing other than full and open competition. The contract is for the procurement of three 24-inch by 24-inch Flush Watertight Hatches, designed to withstand 84 PSI external pressure and 5 PSI internal pressure, manufactured exclusively by Walz and Krenzer, Inc. This proprietary hatch design is specifically developed for use with the Joint Universal Causeway Interface and the Improved Navy Lighterage System, with no alternative sources identified that meet the agency’s requirements. Consequently, a Firm-Fixed Price order is intended to be awarded to Walz and Krenzer, Inc., a small business classified under NAICS code 332312 with a business size standard of 500 employees. The notice clarifies that this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals but invites interested parties to express their interest and capability by July 28, 2015, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit future procurements, though the Government retains full discretion over whether to compete the purchase order. Questions regarding the notice are to be directed via email to SSG William J Yongue, and telephone requests will not be entertained. The contract posting date was July 21, 2015, and all procedures align with regulatory provisions allowing sole source award due to the unique, sole-source nature of the required hatch.
