Quick Summary

The 436 Contracting Office, Dover AFB, DE, has issued an Intent to Sole Source for Ninja TRX Kits and Ninja Masts. The government intends to award this requirement to Black River Systems Company, Inc. due to the integration of existing equipment and the proprietary nature of the specialized items. This is a Special Notice for informational purposes only, not a request for competitive quotes.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for the procurement of Ninja TRX Kits and Ninja Masts. The justification for the sole source award is based on the need for integration with equipment already in use and the proprietary nature of the specialized equipment, meaning only the brand name will suffice.
