What the notice says
The purpose of this special notice is to issue notice of intent to restrict competition for certain commercial products under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Washington Aqueduct has a requirement for the acquisition and delivery of one Versalift SST-40-EIH insulated end-mounted 40 ft. 12.2m telescopic aerial platform lift 45 ft. working height, 27 ft. 9 in. horizontal reach with a 50 kV rated liner and cover, fully integrated and installed on a 2026 Ford F-550 Reg Cab 4x4 chassis with a 132 inches long x 40 inches high x 94 inches wide service body, associated accessories, and delive… (show all)
ry to Washington, DC. Authority to Restrict Competition: 41 U.S.C. 1901: Simplified acquisition procedures, as implemented by RFO 12.102. Reason for Authority Cited: RFO 12.102a allows the Contracting Officer KO to restrict competition when procuring commercial products under the SAT when they determine that only one source is reasonably available to fulfill the requirement. The Government requires an insulated aerial lift vehicle tested and certified for electrical work at 46 KV and below in accordance with ANSI A92.2 requirements to support immediate utility, maintenance, and facility operations. Standard manufacturing lead times for a custom-built chassis and integrated aerial lift of this magnitude typically span several months to over a year. According to market research, contractor Time Manufacturing Co, a large business, has an exact, fully compliant unit in stock and available for immediate delivery. Procuring this specific in-stock unit avoids the extensive operational delays and administrative costs associated with a lengthy manufacturing process, directly satisfying the Governments critical schedule. Because no other known contractor has a fully compliant, certified vehicle in stock and available for immediate delivery, it is determined that only one source is reasonably available to provide this commercial product valued below the SAT.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
