    The Department of Defense, specifically the 179th Cyberspace Wing based in Ohio, intends to award a sole-source contract to M.I.C. Industries. The company is the exclusive provider of the Ultimate Building Machine (UBM), a proprietary system requiring specialized maintenance.

    The scope of work for this contract includes a diagnostic review and evaluation inspection of a UBM 120 machine. M.I.C. Industries will compile a comprehensive list of parts required for the machine's optimal function, aiding the government in future maintenance and repairs.

    Due to M.I.C. Industries' unique expertise and past successful collaborations, the government plans to award them the contract without a competitive procurement process. The certification for this sole-source procurement is provided by Contracting Officer Jeffrey C. Snyder. To ensure transparency, the government invites written responses from potential competitors, demonstrating their capability to provide the required services. This step aims to ascertain whether a competitive market exists.

    The evaluation criteria will be based on the clarity and conciseness of the written responses, which must be submitted by email before the deadline. Responses must showcase the applicant's ability to fulfill the required services.

    Interested parties should direct any inquiries to Jeffrey Snyder at jeffrey.snyder.20@us.af.mil, ensuring that all communication is in writing. The submission deadline is August 6th, 2024, at 1:00 PM EST.

    This opportunity is funded by the U.S. government, with financial details to be confirmed. The contract type is expected to be firm-fixed price.
