--Notice of Intent to Award

The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Navajo Regional Office in Gallup, NM, plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Overhead Door Co. for emergency repairs to an overhead door. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurement when only one supplier can meet the agency's needs. This notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a solicitation for competitive bids, and there is no formal request for proposals. The government invites any interested firms that believe the procurement should be competitive to submit a capability statement and pricing information by the specified deadline of 9:00 a.m. local time on September 14, 2017, via email. The decision to move forward with a competitive procurement remains at the sole discretion of the government, which will review any submitted information strictly to determine if competition is warranted. The contract involves emergency services essential to the functioning of an overhead door, with the Bureau of Indian Affairs operating under the Department of the Interior. The notice underscores the urgency and specificity of the requirement, indicating that only Overhead Door Co. is considered capable of fulfilling it within the necessary timeframe.
