--Intent to award sole source On-site Technical Support Services contract to SkyBuilt Power

The U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command Acquisition Center plans to negotiate and award a sole source contract to SkyBuilt Power, Inc., based in Arlington, VA, to provide on-site technical support services for testing four Transportable Electric Power Stations (THEPS) previously delivered by SkyBuilt. This procurement is conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 due to the proprietary nature of the THEPS technology, ensuring that no other supplier can meet the agency's requirements. The contract will have a maximum duration of one year from the award date and will be executed under FAR 12, which governs commercial item acquisitions. This notice does not seek competitive bids, but interested parties may express their interest within four business days to the designated contract specialist. The contract is associated with the Department of Defense, specifically the W6QK Acc-apg office located in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Communications and any inquiries related to this procurement, including expressions of interest, must be submitted in writing—either by fax or email—to Kari Schoerner, who serves as the point of contact. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to move forward without competition based on any responses received. This action underscores the unique technical and proprietary aspects of the THEPS units and highlights the importance of specialized support from the original equipment provider, SkyBuilt Power.
