Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.

75--OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER FOR Firing Table Inch Three Ring Binder MULTIPLE SIZES W91ZLK-12-T-0475
Solicitation # W91ZLK12T0475
The Department of Defense, through the Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, plans to award a firm-fixed-price sole source purchase order to GPM Associates LLC, operating as Forbes Custom Products, for the procurement of tabular firing tables in three different sizes of three-ring binders: 0.5 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2.0 inch. The maximum quantities sought are 7,150, 8,250, and 5,500 units respectively, with delivery expected between October 2013 and January 2014. This acquisition will follow simplified acquisition procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), particularly Parts 12 and 13, and falls under the NAICS code 323118 with a business size standard of 500 employees. The intended award arises from a prior solicitation among 8(a) vendors, where submitted quotations were found technically unacceptable, prompting the urgent and compelling justification for a sole source award to avoid serious injury or financial harm to the government. Potential interested parties were invited to respond within three days of the notice's September 25, 2012 posting, with a firm deadline on September 27, 2012, to demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit future procurements. However, the government reserves the right, at its discretion, not to pursue competitive bidding based on the responses received. The notice explicitly states that no telephone inquiries will be accepted, and contact for additional information is directed to a specific government point of contact via email. This procurement aims to ensure the procurement of a specific product that meets the government’s unique operational requirements within a critical timeframe.

Heidelberg Model ST 350-8CFFHF Saddle Stitcher
Solicitation # RW16649
The Government plans to award a sole source contract to Heidelberg USA, Inc. for the purchase of the Heidelberg ST-350 Stitcher, which will replace two machines that have been in use for 20 years. This new equipment will align with an existing Heidelberg ST-350 Stitcher acquired in 2008, enabling the Government to maintain a shared spare parts inventory. The Heidelberg ST-350 has been the exclusive stitcher used by the Government for handling long-run jobs with short-run hot work, thus increasing production efficiency. Notably, it is the only stitcher available within the Government Printing Office capable of producing Quality Level 2 output, and there currently is no backup machine of this type available. This procurement is not a request for quotations and does not obligate the Government to make a purchase. Interested parties are instructed to submit any inquiries via email by the specified deadline, with phone calls not being accepted. The contract, identified under solicitation number RW16649, is related to the NAICS code 323118 and the location of performance is Washington, DC. Contact points named include the Contracting Officer Reginald V Walker and Chief of Paper & General Procurement Sheree H. Young.
