Notice of Intent for Sole-Source Award - First WA Robotics Team

The 194th Wing Contracting Office is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for a sole-source award to First WA Robotics Team. The requirement is for a partnership that includes official, statewide access to Washington's FIRST robotics ecosystem. The notice states that FIRST Washington is the only practicable source for this partnership because they run all aspects of FIRST programs within Washington State and the Pacific Northwest FRC District. The required services depend on direct sponsorship, and any other source would be an unnecessary third party. Key points of this opportunity include: • The award is a sole-source procurement for fulfillment of the partnership requirement. • The partnership includes access to Washington's FIRST robotics ecosystem, including FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition teams, events, mentors, volunteers, and program infrastructure. • The required services depend on official, statewide access to the FIRST robotics ecosystem. • Direct sponsorship is the only way to accomplish this requirement.
