S--Special Notice - Notice of Intent to Award

The government intends to award a firm fixed price contract on a sole source basis for refuse collection, removal, and disposal services at Fort Hunter Liggett, California. These services will cover family housing areas, barracks, and administrative offices. The procurement will follow the authority of FAR 6.302-5, which allows for non-competitive awards when authorized or required by statute. Although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may express their interest and ability to perform the work by September 21, 2011, at 8:00 AM EST via email. The government will consider any responses solely to decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement or award the contract directly. The contract is identified by solicitation number W9124N11R0063 and falls under NAICS code 562111, which corresponds to waste collection services. The Department of Defense office managing the contract is located at the Presidio of Monterey, California. This notice serves to inform potential contractors of the government’s sole source intent and gives a limited opportunity for parties to demonstrate capability, although the decision to compete or not remains at the government's discretion.
