This is a notice of intent to award a sole source task order in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2)(G) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). This is not a request for competitive quotes/proposals. The United States Army Corps of Engineers- Louisville District (USACE-LRL), intends to award a sole source Firm-Fixed Price task order to Pond and Company- FSB Joint Venture to design a new tank level monitoring system for the fuel hydrant system at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.

Pond and Company- FSB JV was awarded Task Order W912QR21F0109 to design repairs to the existing fuel hydrant system at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, NY in the fiscal year 2021. Now, as a requirement of DLA providing fuel for the system, a new tank level monitoring system needs to be installed.
