Notice of Intent to Contract with a Single Source - Engine Generator: Warehousing, Shipping, and Maintenance.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a single-source contract to Kohler, located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, for the warehousing, shipping, and maintenance of engine generators. This requirement involves equipment currently stored at a Kohler facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To maintain equipment integrity and avoid potential damage or additional shipping costs associated with relocation, the FAA determined that the generators should remain at their current location. The equipment utilizes Kohler’s proprietary technology, necessitating that any required maintenance be performed by the manufacturer.

This procurement is identified under NAICS code 493110 for General Warehousing and Storage and PSC 6620 for Engine Instruments. Pursuant to the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) 3.2.2.4, the agency has identified Kohler as the only known source capable of providing these specific services in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The solicitation number for this action is 693KA8-23-R-00002, and the primary point of contact is Stephen Young.

The anticipated place of performance is Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This special notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or request for proposal, as the requirement is not available for full and open competition. Responses regarding this notice were due by March 30, 2023. This action follows the policies and guidance of the FAA AMS rather than the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
