25--OR-REFUGE LAW EN-VEHICLE UPFIT F150 (2)

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Day Management Corp. of Milwaukie, Oregon, for the purchase and installation of Law Enforcement Upfitting on two new F-150 vehicles under the authority of FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii), as the requirement falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and only one vendor is reasonably available due to geographic and operational constraints. Day Management Corp. is the sole locally based vendor in Region 1 capable of completing the specialized upfitting work within the critical timeline required by Refuge Law Enforcement, eliminating the need to ship vehicles out of region and ensuring minimal downtime. The contract is classified under NAICS code 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a PSC of K023 pertaining to modification of motor vehicles.

The contract is being issued under the Department of the Interior with the solicitation number DOIFFBO260130, and the point of contact for all submissions is Duke, Carter, whose email is the only accepted channel for responses.
