What this opportunity is

The Department of Defense is seeking a contractor to provide and install 12 new coolers on the APL61 barge, intended for use during the USS HARRY S. TRUMAN's scheduled RCOH. This opportunity is not set aside for small businesses, as it is being awarded on a sole source basis to Metal Dynamics LTD, which has prior experience with similar installations. Interested parties should note that this is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, meaning they should track the opportunity on SAM.GOV rather than submit bids.

Analysis by Mindy, grounded in the SAM.gov notice.
