NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The Marine Corps Bases Japan G-3 office in Okinawa intends to award a sole source contract under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures for the procurement of a Hydraulically Mobile Surface Mounted Barrier System and related equipment from Delta Scientific Corporation. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique compatibility requirements with existing equipment. The equipment must match specific size, rating, and power source criteria and hold a United States Department of State certification at Level K4/L1, ensuring compliance with security standards. No solicitation will be issued, and while this is not a request for competitive quotes, other firms that believe they can meet these specifications may submit a written notification to the contracting officer; however, the Government reserves the sole discretion to decide whether to compete or proceed with the sole source award. The notice includes the relevant NAICS code 332322 and indicates an anticipated contract award date of around August 20, 2004. The procurement is conducted by the Department of Defense, specifically under the Commanding Officer’s office, with the place of performance tied to the Marine Corps bases in Japan. The contract emphasizes the need for direct compatibility with the existing systems and supports national security requirements, justifying the sole source approach. Interested vendors are encouraged to respond, but the contract award decision remains exclusively with the Government.
