99 -- 99-Fire Education Materials

The government intends to enter into a sole source contract with The Firehouse to supply copyrighted fire educational materials. This contract is driven by the unique requirement for their exclusive copyrighted content, which justifies bypassing competitive bidding. The project is managed by the Department of Agriculture's Superior National Forest office based in Duluth, Minnesota. Although the contract posting is primarily for informational purposes, technical inquiries can be directed to Bob Behrner at the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center. The contracting officer responsible for this acquisition is Randy W. Lloyd, who can be contacted via email or phone listed in the contract details. This contract, identified by solicitation number R9-9-03-3 and posted on October 28, 2002, does not specify any set-aside types or NAICS codes, and the place of performance details are not provided. The main objective is to secure fire education materials that are uniquely provided by The Firehouse, ensuring access to their copyrighted content for government use in fire education efforts.
