The Expeditionary Contracting Command Southwest Asia, through the 408th Contracting Support Brigade and Contracting Command in Qatar, plans to award a firm-fixed-price contract for the movement and storage of household goods. This contract will be awarded without full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one or a limited number of responsible sources can meet the agency's requirements. The selected contractors are Gridiron Forwarding Co., Inc. and Ability Forwarders, Inc., both of which are based in Doha, Qatar. The contract will cover a one-year period from November 28, 2011, to November 27, 2012, and falls under NAICS code 484210, which relates to general freight trucking. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids, and no request for proposals will be issued. Interested parties are invited to express their interest and submit a capabilities statement by November 21, 2011, at 3:00 PM Qatar local time; however, the government reserves the right to proceed without further competition after evaluating any responses. The contract specialist managing this action is Major Senodja F. Sundiata-Walker, who can be contacted via email. This procurement supports the logistics and transportation needs of the Area Support Group - Qatar, Directorate of Logistics-Installation Transportation, reflecting a non-competitive acquisition due to the specialized nature of the services required.
