83 -- Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Government plans to award a sole source purchase order for double reinforced nickel joints, which are essential for preventing flag poles from bending at the middle. This procurement is critical to meeting mission requirements and will be conducted without full and open competition, as only one responsible source—Supplyroom.com, the manufacturer and sole direct seller of these flagpoles—can fulfill the agency’s needs. The 55th Contracting Squadron is proceeding under the regulatory provision allowing non-competitive awards when no other suppliers can meet the requirements. This notice serves as an official intent to award and is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. The contract is identified by solicitation number F39HSE17241A002 and is issued by the Department of Defense at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. Interested parties with questions regarding the procurement process are directed to contact TSgt. Roland J. Eder or Contract Specialist Jeremiah E. Keenan via the provided email and phone contacts. The urgency of this procurement underscores its importance to the agency’s operational capabilities, reinforcing the justification for a sole source acquisition under the specified federal acquisition regulations.
