63--NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A SINGLE SOURCE AWARD TO PALLYN INTERNATIONAL INC

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Contracting and General Services Division in Portland, Oregon, plans to award a sole source contract to Pallyn International, Inc. for the relocation of a Vertex 9-meter antenna on Midway Atoll. Pallyn International is identified as the only known source capable of fulfilling the agency’s specific requirements for this task. This action will be taken without full and open competition, in accordance with federal acquisition regulations, reflecting the agency’s determination that no other suppliers can meet the needed criteria. This notice serves as an announcement of the government’s intent to issue the award under the sole source justification and is not a solicitation for proposals. The contract's purpose centers around a unique technical and logistical requirement that Pallyn International specializes in, which justifies the use of a sole source acquisition method. The contracting office overseeing this procurement is affiliated with the Department of the Interior based in Falls Church, Virginia, and follows established acquisition rules to ensure the process complies with legal and regulatory standards.
