Crime Supplies

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) plans to issue a Firm Fixed Price, Sole Source purchase order to Sirchie, located in Youngsville, NC, for the procurement of brand name crime supplies. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive sourcing when only one responsible source can meet the agency’s requirements. The contract is specifically for crime supplies, and no alternatives or competitive bids will be considered unless the government decides otherwise based on interest and capability responses received. The agency has clarified that this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competitive quotes but invites parties to express interest by August 7, 2012, after which the government will decide whether to proceed without competition. This contracting action falls under the NAICS code 423450 and is managed by the NCIS office in Quantico, VA, under the Department of Defense. The designated point of contact for inquiries is Cynthia Springs via email, with the deadline for questions set prior to the aforementioned date and time. The contract aims to fulfill agency needs exclusively through Sirchie, ensuring procurement of specific brand-name crime supplies essential for NCIS operations. The overall approach reflects a streamlined procurement process grounded in regulatory authority, emphasizing the specialized nature and exclusivity of the required supplies.
