Intent to Sole Source - Corrosion Control Installation

The U.S. government intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed price contract to Veteran Equipment Sales LLC (VES) for the installation of corrosion control equipment at the 106th Rescue Wing in Westhampton Beach, New York. This procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) because VES is the original equipment manufacturer of the Government-Furnished Equipment, including the Dust Collector and Air Shower, and only VES possesses the proprietary technical data and expertise necessary to ensure seamless integration without voiding manufacturer warranties. The work encompasses the design, supply, and installation of custom ventilation ducting to connect the Dust Collector to the Sanding Booth, along with supervised installation of the Air Shower, all performed at the facility site. The contract is classified as a commercial item acquisition under NAICS code 561990 and is estimated to be under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. No competition is feasible due to the unique technical requirements, OEM-specific knowledge, and the risk of warranty invalidation if performed by non-OEM vendors. The contract is administered by the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 106 under Operation & Maintenance, Air funding, with the sole point of contact for the procurement being the Contracting Officer located in Westhampton Beach, New York. No detailed pricing, delivery schedule, or period of performance is disclosed, as these specifics are contained in the attached Justification and Approval document. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are not explicitly defined beyond the critical emphasis on maintaining manufacturer warranties. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the place of performance, with the government responsible for verifying compliance with OEM specifications and warranty conditions. No evaluation factors, scoring criteria, or competitive bid process will be conducted, as the award is non-competitive. The contractor's representation, certification, size status, UEI/CAGE code, and socioeconomic credentials are not provided in the documents, and all relevant data, including invoicing methods, payment offices, and accounting codes, remain redacted or unspecified. The procurement is the first of its kind at this location, with no precedent or alternative suppliers identified.
