The Bureau of Land Management intends to award a sole source purchase order to Monson Engineering LLC, the only authorized Trimble dealer in the area, for the provision of Trimble GPS survey receivers and accessories. This procurement is conducted under the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically citing the justification that only one source is reasonably available for this requirement. The announcement clarifies that it is not a formal request for quotes, but interested companies capable of supplying an equivalent product are invited to submit their technical capabilities, including detailed specifications, past performance, pricing, and delivery capabilities within ten calendar days. These submissions will be reviewed to determine whether competition is feasible, though the decision to proceed without competition remains solely at the government's discretion. The solicitation pertains to the acquisition of cadastral GPS system equipment, under NAICS code 334511, with the contract being managed by the Utah State Office of the Department of the Interior based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Communications and submissions should be directed exclusively by email to the designated Contract Specialist, Joseph Petersen, with no phone inquiries accepted. The time frame and procedural details align with federal regulations governing sole source purchases and public announcement of intent to award, ensuring transparency despite the non-competitive nature of the procurement.
