SOLE SOURCE TO GATEKEEPER SECURITY

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Gatekeeper Security for the repair and service maintenance of an Automatic Under Vehicle Inspection System (AUVIS) located at Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates, supporting Combined Task Group 56.7. The contract covers a 1-year base period with an option for a 1-year extension. The AUVIS system is proprietary to Gatekeeper Security, which precludes competitive solicitation in accordance with FAR 6.305. Although this is a sole source procurement, any small business capable of fulfilling the requirement is invited to notify the Contracting Officer in writing by the specified deadline; however, the Government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source award regardless of responses. The solicitation does not involve a formal solicitation document as noted under Government-wide note 22. The contracting activity is located in San Diego, California, under the Department of Defense's NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center. Interested parties were required to submit written notifications by August 11, 2011, no telephone inquiries were accepted, and the point of contact for this procurement is Isabelito Cabana. If no capable small business responses are received, NAVSUP FLC San Diego intends to award the contract directly to Gatekeeper Security for the proprietary maintenance services needed under NAICS code 334290.
