Justification for Noncompetitive Action
The Government intends to award this contract noncompetitively under RFO 6.103-1, citing that only one responsible source is available. Justifications include:
- Unique Expertise: The sole-sourced company installed the original elevator and possesses exclusive knowledge of its configuration and access to obsolete legacy components.
- Past Performance & Risk Mitigation: Previous attempts at competitive awards were unsuccessful, leading to contract termination and significant delays.
- Continuity & Safety: Using another contractor would require substantial redesign, compromise safety, and result in further delays and increased costs, as the elevator is critical for dam machinery maintenance.

While the Government intends a sole-source award, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. Submissions must be received by Contracting Specialist Marcie Billotto at marcie.billotto@usace.army.mil within 15 calendar days from the notice's publication date (June 10, 2026), making the deadline June 25, 2026.
