The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, plans to award a sole source purchase order to Ross Labs LLC for providing on-site maintenance and calibration services on Ross Survey Equipment used by the Channels & Harbors Section at the USACE Fountain City Service Base in Wisconsin. This procurement is being executed without full and open competition under FAR guidelines because Ross Labs LLC is the exclusive provider with the legal and proprietary rights to service the hydrographic survey systems, which include proprietary software and hardware originally purchased from this company. The notice serves as an announcement of intent to award the contract rather than a solicitation for competitive proposals. The contract is set as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334511 and will be managed by the W07V Endist St Paul office located in Saint Paul, MN. Point of contacts for the procurement are John P. Riederer and Shamron J. Richardson, both reachable via email and phone. The procurement supports maintaining critical surveying equipment essential for the functionality and accuracy of the Channels & Harbors Section's operations at the Fountain City site, ensuring continuity of vital government infrastructure projects.
