78 -- Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer

The Department of Defense intends to award a sole source contract to Silver Wolf Enterprises for the procurement of elliptical riders to be used at F.E. Warren Air Force Base. This procurement will be conducted under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12.203, and specifically under FAR 6.302-5(b)(4), which allows for direct negotiation without competition due to Silver Wolf Enterprises’ participation in the US Government’s 8(a) program. The notice clarifies that this is not a solicitation or request for proposals, and no contract will be awarded based on any responses to this notice. The acquisition falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 423910, which covers furniture and furnishing merchant wholesalers, and the size standard for this procurement is set at 500 employees. Interested parties are invited to submit written inquiries or concerns within five days of the posting date, but responses must clearly demonstrate that competition would benefit the government in potential future procurements. All correspondence should be directed to the contract point of contact, John Mayo, at F.E. Warren AFB, with additional contact available through the team lead, Brandy O Jiron. The overall intent is to inform industry of the government’s decision while maintaining discretion and transparency as required under federal acquisition regulations.
