Purchase of Niagara Metal Shear Replacement Parts

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at the Mt. Weather Emergency Operations Center is seeking to negotiate a contract with BCN Technical Services, Inc., located in Hastings, MI, for the purchase of replacement brackets for a Niagara Metal Shear. This procurement is proceeding under simplified acquisition procedures due to the fact that BCN Technical Services is the sole source provider of these original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, holding all proprietary rights. The brackets are classified as commercial items, and this notice is not a solicitation for competitive pricing but rather a formal notification of intent to negotiate directly with BCN Technical Services. The contract is identified under solicitation number HSFEMW-10-P-0333 and falls under NAICS code 333513, which pertains to metal cutting machinery manufacturing. The Department of Homeland Security’s National Continuity Section (CON50) is the managing office for this acquisition, with contract administration led by Contracting Officer Deborah O. Foster. Interested responses need to be submitted in writing or via facsimile or email to the designated point of contact. The purchase will support FEMA's operational needs at Mt. Weather, VA, ensuring continued functionality of critical equipment with proprietary replacement parts from the sole authorized supplier.
