Notice of Intent to Sole Source a Sparky Safety House

The Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow, California, plans to procure a Sparky Hazard House from ModelTech International through a sole-source contract. Although this notice serves as an announcement of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the government invites qualified parties to express interest or submit proposals within three days of the notice’s publication. The primary purpose of gathering information is to determine whether to pursue a competitive procurement, with the government retaining full discretion in this decision. Proposals can be submitted via email to the designated contact, and the anticipated contract award date is August 27, 2010. This procurement falls under the NAICS code 339999 and is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the Commanding Officer’s office. The contract involves acquiring a specialized safety training device, the Sparky Safety House, designed to support hazard awareness and safety training. The point of performance is the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow, CA, and no formal set-aside status applies. The government’s approach reflects a streamlined acquisition intended to meet urgent training needs while allowing limited opportunity for competing offers.
