AI Contract Overview
The Naval Research Laboratory intends to award a sole source purchase order to Circus Ice Cream Inc for the delivery of dry ice to support the Chemistry Division, with no competitive solicitation planned due to the unique and exclusive nature of the requirement. This action is justified under the determination that only this single responsible source can meet the agency’s specific needs, and no other supplies or services would be adequate. The procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, as the estimated value does not exceed the $250,000 threshold, and it falls under NAICS code 325120 with a small business size standard and FSC/PSC code 6640. Interested parties may submit information demonstrating why a competitive procurement would be beneficial to the government, but any response must provide clear and convincing evidence to challenge the sole source determination. All submissions must reference the Notice of Intent number N00173-26-P-1301381519 and be received by the closing date of June 26, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. local time. No reimbursement will be provided for costs incurred in submitting information, and the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of feedback received. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense through the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., with James Buie serving as the primary point of contact.
