K--Notice of Intent to Award

The contract involves a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.501 for modifications to the SpaceSaver weapons rack system. The modification is necessary to accommodate new weapons recently adopted Army-wide, ensuring the existing weapons rack system is compatible with the updated arsenal. This notice serves as the only announcement of the government's intention to negotiate exclusively with one source, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, which allows for other than full and open competition. Interested firms capable of providing the required service are invited to submit written notifications to Ray Workman by 2:00 P.M. on August 12, 2011, demonstrating clear and convincing reasons why competition would benefit the government. However, the decision to proceed without competition remains solely at the government's discretion. The contracting agency is the Department of Defense, specifically the W7N3 Uspfo Activity Utah Army National Guard office located in Draper, Utah, with NAICS code 337124 applicable to the procurement.
