99--Special notice of intent to extend the current contract on a sole source basis.

The contract involves a special notice of intent to extend the existing agreement with E&D Enterprise, Inc. on a sole source basis under FAR 6.302-1, which permits contracting without competition when only one source can meet the agency's requirements. This extension covers the servicing and delivery of portable chemical toilets for six months, from January 1, 2013, to June 30, 2013. The extension is necessary because a competitive follow-on contract has not yet been established, and continuing the current agreement without interruption is deemed most advantageous for the government. This notice is not a solicitation or request for proposals, and no new contract awards will be made based on responses to it. The contract is tied to solicitation number W9124C08D0012 and falls under the NAICS code 562991, relating to waste management services. The agency overseeing this contract is the Department of Defense office located in Columbia, South Carolina. This extension ensures uninterrupted service while the government finalizes a competitive procurement process for continued servicing beyond the current contract period.
