The Joint Program Office for Biological Defense has a critical requirement to develop a pro totype next-generation Short-Range Biological Standoff Detection System. This synopsis provides notice that the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command intends to award a sole-source contract to Fibertek, Inc. of Herndon, Virginia, for the development of two modified Short-Range Biological Standoff Detection Systems for testing under the Joint Biological Standoff Detection System Block I development program to meet that requirement. The authority for negotiating this sole-source acquisition is 10 USC 23 04(c)(1) ?Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency?s requirement?, as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii).

Interested parties who believe that they can fulfill this requirement without substantial duplication of cost to the Government are invited to submit a written narrative statement of their capability, including detailed technical information sufficient to permit agency analysis in order to determine bona fide capability to meet the Government?s requirements. Responses without the required documentation will be considered nonresponsive. This information must be received not later than 17:30 hours local time 15 (fifteen) days after publication of this synopsis, and must be delivered to the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program Project Of fice, 1436 Porter Street, Fort Detrick, Maryland, 21702-5041.

Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All responsible sources may submit offers that will be considered. This is NOT a formal notice of solicitation.This notice of intent to award a sole-source contract is not a reque st for competitive proposals, and telephonic inquiries for a Request for Proposals will not be accepted or responded to.
