Portable Dome

The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California, plans to negotiate a sole source purchase with Pacific Domes Inc. for a custom 30-foot medical dome. This specialized dome features a .92-inch galvanized steel frame, a cover divided into five sections secured by zippers and Velcro flaps, five clear vinyl round windows, a pre-hung door with struts, twenty single stake anchor plates, double hems with grommets, and includes assembly instructions and a care manual. Only one dome will be procured under this contract, utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures as authorized by federal regulations due to the unique capabilities provided by the Pacific Domes model, which the Marine Corps has determined has no equivalent in the market. Although this notice is not a Request for Quote, interested vendors have until August 5, 2011, at noon Pacific time to express their interest and capability, which will inform whether the procurement should transition to a competitive process. Any responses will be reviewed at the Government's discretion, and inquiries should be directed to Staff Sergeant Pena via the provided email. The contract aligns under NAICS code 332311 and is managed by the MWTC Commanding Officer within the Department of Defense. The purchase aims to meet the specific operational needs of the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center.
