The U.S. Department of the Interior, specifically the Fish and Wildlife Service, intends to award a sole source contract to Whitney Equipment Company Inc. (WECI) for the removal, repair, delivery, and installation of a 30-HP Flygt Pump at the Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery in Estacada, Oregon. This procurement is necessitated by the warranty requirements of the Flygt pump, which stipulate that only authorized technicians can perform the service, thereby limiting the competition to WECI as the sole authorized servicer. The contract falls under NAICS code 333914, which pertains to the manufacturing of measuring, dispensing, and other pumping equipment, highlighting the critical nature of the services being sought for the hatchery's operations. Interested parties may submit a capability statement by September 20, 2024, to demonstrate their qualifications, although no formal solicitation will be issued, and the government may proceed without competitive bidding if no viable alternatives are presented.
