Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, specifically the Commander Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC), has issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source purchase order to Flame Spray, Inc. for specialized maintenance of E-2 Sling Beams. This action is conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(i), as the government has identified only one source reasonably available to satisfy the requirement.
