36--COMPOST TANKS FOR VIEQUES NWR

Intent to Sole Source The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intend to negotiate a noncompetitive contract with the Clivus Multrum, Inc. This procurement is for a M54 Trail Head Composter. This system is currently in use by the agency at Vieques National Wildlife Refuge. Based on experience and extensive product research, it is the only system that handles the needed volume for the visitors, provides simple maintenance that can be done by the government at no additional cost and provides substantial cost saving to the government when compared to other similar products. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because all the other products that were evaluated either did not meet the capability for the public use needs or they were not cost effective. A determination not to compete this proposed contract has been made pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Any other interested organizations must submit a written statement of their capabilities and qualifications to fulfill this requirement to the identified point of contact as soon as possible, but no later than 10:00 a.m. local time on August 25, 2014. Please include your name, point of contact, address, area code, telephone number, email address, DUNS number, and facsimile number. Telephone request will not be accepted. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed in writing to Jamese Promise at contact@example.gov. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined above. Any such statement of capabilities and qualifications received by the deadline will be evaluated solely for determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
