NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT

The Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina intends to award a sole source contract to Ideal Products Inc. under the authority that permits awarding to only one responsible source when no other supplies or services will fulfill the agency’s requirements. The contract involves the procurement of Electric Breech Kits for the MK33 Disruptor, specifically for Marine Forces Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals but allows other interested parties to express their interest and capability to meet the requirement, which the government may consider before finalizing the sole source award. Interested firms must submit their capability information by 4:00 PM EST on March 15, 2007, via facsimile or email. The government holds discretion over whether to proceed with competition based on responses received. The primary contact for this procurement is Michael Dobbins, reachable by phone, fax, or email. This requirement underscores the specialized nature of the Electric Breech Kits for operational use within a specific Marine Corps unit, highlighting the necessity for a sole source acquisition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation provision FAR 6.302-1.
