--SOLE SOURCE ANNUCEMENT

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Fairbanks Morse Engine, located in Beloit, Wisconsin, for the procurement of replacement parts for a power plant engine. This decision is driven by the critical nature of the requirement, as competing this contract or selecting another manufacturer would cause significant delays and operational disruptions that could affect national security. Additionally, awarding the contract to another source would result in increased costs to the government. The procurement will follow the procedures outlined under FAR 6.302 for other than full and open competition. Although the contract is to be awarded on a sole source basis, the agency invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations, which will be considered. If no written responses are received within fifteen days of the announcement, the award will proceed without further notice. The solicitation is identified by the number W81XWHDF8219 and falls under the NAICS code 333618. Interested parties or inquiries can be directed to the designated point of contact at the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity.
