Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The government intends to award a single source firm fixed price contract to Brownells, Incorporated, based in Montezuma, Iowa, for the procurement of weapons tools in support of the Marine Corps Shooting Team located in Quantico. This acquisition is being made using the authority under FAR 6.302-1, allowing other than full and open competition, as Brownells has been determined capable of satisfying the agency’s specific supply requirements. Although this notice is not a solicitation for competitive quotes, the government invites interested parties to express their interest and demonstrate their capability within five days of the notice’s publication. Responses will be considered strictly to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary, with the final decision resting solely with the government. The contracting office overseeing this acquisition is the Regional Contracting Office - National Capital Region in Quantico, Virginia, with Sgt Sung Monora serving as the point of contact. The notice provides an opportunity for other vendors to present their capabilities; however, the government has preliminarily decided to proceed with a sole source award to Brownells. This action supports the mission readiness of the Marine Corps Shooting Team by ensuring timely provision of specialized weapons tools critical to their operations.
