93 -- 93-Nonmetallic fabricated materials

The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) is seeking to acquire 400 additional table covers specifically for the Midshipmen Food Service Division on a sole source basis, citing FAR 6.302(1). The procurement is intended to maintain continuity with existing covers used in King Hall at Bancroft Hall, for which AMCRAFT is identified as the only capable source, owing to their extensive experience and empirical knowledge gained from producing these covers since their inception. This unique expertise ensures compatibility and consistency with ongoing requirements. Potential suppliers interested in this opportunity are invited to submit a sample cover within 15 days of the announcement to the designated USNA organization. The contract, posted on August 28, 2003, falls under nonmetallic fabricated materials but does not specify a set-aside type or NAICS code. The contracting office is the Superintendent of the US Naval Academy, part of the Department of Defense, located in Annapolis, Maryland. This procurement emphasizes the importance of maintaining product continuity and the reliance on a sole source provider due to their specialized knowledge and capability.
