R--SOLE SOURCE ADVERTISING

The Washington National Guard (WARNG) at Camp Murray, Washington, plans to award a Firm Fixed Price purchase order without full and open competition under the justification that only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements. The contract will be awarded to Global Spectrum, L.P. for providing advertising services through the Washington Stealth Lacrosse Team during the 2010-2012 designated game seasons.

The Department of Defense’s U.S. Property and Fiscal Office for the Washington Army National Guard, located in Tacoma, Washington, is responsible for this acquisition. Questions related to the contract can be addressed to Elke H. Neal via email or facsimile, ensuring communication is directed to the appropriate contracting officer.
