THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITVE PROPOSALS. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) intends to enter into a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract with BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Co.) for flagging services for the N2007 Navajo Bridge Project under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Government anticipates the award of a contract to BNSF for a period of 9 months for the flagging services to complete the project. Because this bridge construction is on BNSF property and BNSF controls all the train traffic with their own forces, there is no other options to bid out the flagger services since BNSF is the only company who has the qualified flaggers to do the job we require. We were granted an easement over BNSF property under a master agreement that requires us to coordinate and work with BNSF personnel under their requirements. No solicitation is available and no technical questions will be answered for this requirement. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 561990. If a firm believes that BIA should not pursue this procurement, it should submit a capability statement and pricing information for the requirement by 4:00pm MDT on September 23, 2020.
