99--Special Notice

The contract involves a non-fee bearing modification to an existing task order for environmental services under a Department of Defense office in Omaha, Nebraska. The Government intends to proceed with a sole-source solicitation and negotiation under the authority of FAR 6.302 to complete a specific project. Due to insufficient remaining capacity on the current base contract to accommodate this in-scope modification, the contract capacity will be increased accordingly. This notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a solicitation for competitive proposals. While the Government welcomes inquiries within thirty days of the notice publication, the decision to conduct a competitive procurement remains at the Government's sole discretion. Responses to this notice will primarily be used to determine whether competitive bidding is necessary, and no commitment to award a contract competitively is implied. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 562910, relating to environmental services.
