INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow, California, plans to award a sole source contract to The Light Brigade Inc. for the procurement of tools and Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE). This notice of intent is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, but the government will accept and consider any proposals submitted within one day of the notice's publication to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary. The final decision to proceed without competition is at the government's discretion, based on the information received. Interested parties were invited to express their interest or submit proposals via fax or email prior to the anticipated award date on March 26, 2009. The contract is associated with NAICS code 335921 and falls under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Commanding Officer's office at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow. Contact details for submission included a fax number and an email address, with the government emphasizing that submissions received are typically considered only for evaluating the need for competitive bidding rather than for direct award consideration. This sole source intent indicates a streamlined procurement process focused on a specific vendor with expertise or products aligned with the military's logistical requirements at this facility.
