Purchase and Install a Catwalk/Observation Deck

The Naval Special Warfare-West Contracting Office in San Diego, CA, plans to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to Advanced Training Systems (ATS) of St. Paul, MN, for the purchase and installation of a catwalk/observation deck. This catwalk is an addition to an existing Shoot House previously designed and manufactured by ATS and will be installed at the La Posta Weapons Training Complex in Campo, CA. The acquisition falls under the NAICS code 332312, which corresponds to small businesses with up to 500 employees. The contract is being awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which allows for limited competition due to the unique source nature of the procurement. The anticipated award date is September 10, 2010. Although this is a sole source procurement, the Navy welcomes interested parties to express their interest and capability to perform the work within three days of the public notice, with the understanding that the government retains sole discretion over whether or not to compete the contract. Inquiries are to be directed electronically to the designated contract specialist. The solicitation and further contract details are managed by the Naval Special Warfare Command, with points of contact including both the Contract Specialist and Contracting Chief based in San Diego. The project delivery and installation will be executed on-site at the specified training complex in Campo, CA.
