--INTENT TO EXTEND SOLE-SOURCE

The Directorate of Contracting at Fort Knox plans to extend Contract #W9124D-07-C-0014 on a sole source basis for recruiting services with MPRI, located in Alexandria, VA. This extension covers the interim period from August 14, 2007, through November 30, 2007, as MPRI is currently the only known provider capable of delivering these services during this timeframe. A new solicitation for recruiting services starting December 1, 2007, is expected to be issued around July 26, 2007. Interested parties are invited to submit written comments by August 9, 2007, at 2:00 PM EDT, either via fax or email to the designated contact. The contract is associated with NAICS code 561330 and is managed by the Department of Defense office at Fort Knox, Kentucky. This sole-source extension reflects the agency’s intent to maintain continuity of recruiting services while preparing for a competitive solicitation later in the year. All relevant information, including the extension notice and solicitation details, are publicly available through the designated government contract portal.
