Set-Aside
While the metadata indicates a Total Small Business Set-Aside, this is an Intent to Sole Source to The Station Inc. The justification states that market research identified The Station Inc. (referred to as Company 2 in the document) as the only known source capable of providing the specific T-3000 vehicle within the required timeframe. This is not an open solicitation.
Evaluation
This is a justification for a single-source award, not a solicitation document. Therefore, no submission or evaluation criteria for proposals are provided. The anticipated cost is expected to be fair and reasonable.
Additional Notes
Market research indicated that other vendors lacked inventory or did not have the specified T-3000 vehicle, or exceeded cost parameters. Procuring an alternative vehicle or enduring delays would negatively impact critical fire emergency services. Interested parties must submit responses via email only to dania.duperou-flores@us.af.mil and brian.brammer@us.af.mil. The government will not pay for any costs incurred in responding to this notice.
