The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC)
intends to negotiate with only one source, WS Acquisition LLC, 830 Wilson Street, Eugene,
OR 97402 for repair and replacement parts for existing Western Shelter brand Modular
Tents for use in support of the wildland fire program. This action is authorized by and
in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. The Government believes that the only responsible source
capable of satisfying the agency's requirement is WS Acquisition, LLC. A Justification for
Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition
and is available upon request. The full list of required parts/pieces is also available
upon request. The estimated value of this acquisition is less than $489,226.48. No
Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be issued, and no response will be made to letters or
telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation. This is not a request for competitive
quotes but serves as a procurement notice to fulfill public posting requirements in
accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The requirement is unrestricted and the NAICS code
314910 applies. Responsible firms believing they can provide the required items are
encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting
Officer referencing action item 140L3722Q0038. However, they must provide convincing
evidence that they can furnish the requested items at a cost that will not exceed the
total estimated transaction cost. All responses will be fully considered. If no
affirmative responses are received by May 9, 2022, to the effect that a comparable
source exists, an order will be placed with Western Shelter for the requirement stated
here. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Traci Thaler at
tthaler@blm.gov.
