--Various interlocking, children's play stations.

The United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, plans to award a sole source purchase order to Rifton Equipment for various interlocking children's play stations. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits other than full and open competition due to the presence of only one responsible source capable of meeting the agency's needs. Although the contract is set as a sole source acquisition, all responses from responsible sources will be considered, but no solicitation or request for quotations will be issued. The contract is aligned with the SIC code 3944 and the NAICS code 339932, which pertains to children's play equipment manufacturing, with a size standard of 500 employees. The order is managed by the Department of Defense office at West Point, reflecting a focused, non-competitive procurement to satisfy a specific requirement. The notice serves as an official intent to award rather than an opportunity for competitive bidding, ensuring timely acquisition of the needed play stations directly from Rifton Equipment.
