37--Terex PS3000

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network 22 Logistics Office plans to procure a Terex PS3000 4x4 Dumper directly from Terex Corporation through a sole source acquisition. The procurement will follow commercial item procedures as outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12, and will proceed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which allows for procurement without full and open competition. The notice issued is not a solicitation for offers but serves to gather information that will help the government decide whether to pursue a competitive procurement. Proposals submitted by potential vendors will be accepted until 4:00 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time on June 22, 2006, and will be reviewed strictly to inform the government's decision-making process. The decision to forego competition in this acquisition rests entirely with the government. Key contract details including the solicitation number and the procurement approach are established, though specific information about the agency, location, and contact points has not been provided.
