C--Notice of Intent to Use Other Than Full and Open Competition for Trunnion Anchor Rod Testing at Hannibal Locks and Dam, Monroe County, OH

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, plans to award a Firm Fixed-Price contract on a sole source basis to Velocitel dba FDH Velocitel, Inc. for specialized non-destructive Dispersive Wave testing of trunnion anchorage rods on the tainter gate piers at Hannibal Dam in Monroe County, Ohio. The scope of work includes conducting the DW testing, performing engineering analysis of the anchors, and providing a detailed report with findings and recommendations for future action. The contract will have a performance period of 10 months from the award date. This Notice of Intent is not a solicitation for proposals, and no competitive bidding will occur; however, interested parties who believe they can fulfill the requirement may submit a capability statement for consideration. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330 and is managed by the Department of Defense's Pittsburgh District office. The government has invoked FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) authority to justify non-competitive award procedures. Any capability statements must be submitted in writing with sufficient detail for evaluation and should be directed to Carole M. Householder, who serves as the point of contact for this action. This effort is specifically targeted to maintain the structural integrity of the Hannibal Dam by ensuring the proper functioning of its critical anchoring system.
