The United States Department of Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services office, plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Wilson Camps, Inc. for custom-made Wilson Camp Trailers measuring 7 by 14 feet, designed as deluxe sheep camps. This procurement will be conducted exclusively with Wilson Camps under the authority of FAR 6.302, indicating that the government has determined only one source is capable of fulfilling the requirement. The purchase will be made using simplified acquisition procedures and commercial item acquisition regulations per FAR Part 12, with the applicable NAICS code being 336214, which covers motor vehicle manufacturing. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, but any information provided in response will be used solely to assess whether competition is appropriate. The decision not to conduct a competitive process lies entirely with the government. The contract is managed out of the USDA office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the designated point of contact for questions is Susan C. Fedorko, the Purchasing Agent. The contract details, including solicitation number 55036 and the specific nature of the product, underscore the intent to procure these specialized trailers directly from Wilson Camps, aiming to meet unique operational needs in Ely, Nevada.
