J -- Raymond Rack Loader Maintenance at DDNV

The Defense Distribution Center in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania plans to award a sole source contract to Werres Corp. for the maintenance of various Raymond Rackloader models at the Defense Distribution Center in Norfolk, Virginia. This contract will be awarded under simplified acquisition procedures and without full and open competition because Werres Corp. is the only authorized contractor in the Norfolk area capable of providing Raymond replacement parts. The contract is designated under the NAICS code 811310, which pertains to maintenance and repair services, and is managed by the Department of Defense's DLA Distribution office. While this notice of intent is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, the government will accept and consider any proposals submitted within 14 days of the publication date. The decision to forego competitive bidding will be made at the government’s discretion based on these submissions. Interested parties are instructed to email responses to the designated point of contact. The purpose of receiving information is to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted, but it is not an invitation for open competition at this stage.
