Aviation Management, under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, plans to issue a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order to Survival Systems USA, Inc. for a portable shallow-water aviation egress training device along with train-the-trainer instruction for eight participants. This procurement is based on the Federal Acquisition Regulation authority allowing sole source acquisitions when only one responsible source exists. This decision was made because Survival Systems USA, Inc. is the only provider identified for this specialized training device. The acquisition supports aviation safety training needs and is not open for competitive bidding. The purchase order will be issued by the Department of the Interior’s Aviation Management office located in Boise, Idaho. The NAICS code referenced is 611512, related to professional and management development training. Interested parties seeking further information are directed to contact Helen Watson via phone, email, or fax as provided.
