    The General Services Administration (GSA) is initiating a limited source procurement for Erosion Control Fabric, specifically the Solmax P/N MIRAFI 160N, under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. The fabric, a polypropylene needle-punched nonwoven geotextile used for erosion control and ground stabilization, is required to meet specific characteristics, including dimensions of 360 feet in length and 12.5 feet in width. The estimated procurement cost is $44,160.00, and the acquisition process will allow vendors quoting this specific item to submit their offers via SAM.gov for 7 days. This sole-source acquisition is justified based on the urgency and uniqueness of the requirement, as it is part of an airport runway repair kit, which limits the supply source to one manufacturer. Although efforts will be made to solicit interest, there are no alternatives that meet the specific requirements. The Contracting Officer has confirmed that this procurement action aligns with the criteria for restricting competition as outlined in FAR regulations, ensuring a fair and reasonable cost based on current vendor pricing. Ultimately, the action is critical to fulfill the needs of the GSA's mission in supporting national security efforts.
    This document is a request for quotations (RFQ) issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for a one-time purchase of erosion control fabric, specifically Solmax P/N MIRAFI 160N, intended for erosion control and ground stabilization. The RFQ outlines specifications for the fabric, including material, dimensions, weight, and compliance requirements. Responses must include pricing details for specified quantities, and the deadline for submissions is September 19, 2024, at 3:30 PM Central Time. The GSA will award the contract to the vendor offering the lowest price that meets technical specifications, and delivery is expected within 30 days after receipt of the order. Key considerations include packing and marking standards, inspection at delivery, and additional clauses regarding compliance with federal procurement policies. Vendors must be able to certify their compliance with various business standards, including small business designations. The RFQ also emphasizes the importance of adherence to regulations on packaging, inspection, and certifications related to federal contracts. Overall, it reflects the GSA's protocol for acquiring supplies while supporting small business participation and strict adherence to procurement regulations.
