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) due to VES’s status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Government-Furnished Equipment, including the Dust Collector and Air Shower, which requires proprietary technical data and custom ducting design that only VES possesses. The award is necessary to ensure seamless integration with existing equipment, maintain manufacturer warranties, and avoid the technical risks and costs associated with third-party installation. The total estimated value is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and the contract will be executed through the System for Award Management (SAM). No competitive solicitation is planned, as market research confirmed no other source can fulfill the requirement without voiding warranties or compromising system integrity. The period of performance, specific delivery schedule, and exact contract value are not disclosed, but the work is to be performed on-site at the designated location in Westhampton Beach, with final acceptance by the Government at that location. The contract does not include detailed packaging, marking, or preservation requirements, nor does it reference any military standards or formal inspection criteria beyond compliance with OEM specifications. Key administrative details such as funding code, payment office, invoicing system, and full point-of-contact information are redacted, though the primary point of contact is Sara Margaret Luna, with Anthony Kirincic as the secondary contact. The justification is supported by documentation identifying VES as a registered entity in SAM.gov and DSBS, suggesting small business status, though no explicit socioeconomic certifications are provided. The contract contains no options, security clearances, or OCI mitigation provisions, and all requirements rest solely on the OEM’s unique technical ownership and warranty authority.
