Description

In order to further the testing and development of the Tracer Environmental Sciences and Technologies, Inc. (Tracer ES&T), Model 2600 Tracer Gas Analyzer (TGA) network, the 45th Contracting Squadron intends to negotiate a contract on a sole-source basis with Tracer ES&T that will provide upgrades and modifications to the Tracer ES&T Model 2600 TGA in order to: meet additional field test requirements; reduce operator errors and problems; add additional troubleshooting features; make the network better for both daytime and nighttime tests; and develop a better calibration method for the TGAs. The related test support necessary for tracer and ambient atmospheric studies based on the capabilities of the TGA network, both before and after modifications and/or upgrades, is also required. This sole source acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Additionally, FAR 6.302-1(a)(iii) supports the use of ?Only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements,? because this acquisition is also considered to be a follow-on contract for the provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that an award to any other source would result in (1) substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and/or (2) unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency?s requirements. Evaluation of the contractor's unique capability, experience and access to proprietary data for the Tracer ES&T Model 2600 TGA concluded that the requirement described above is available from only one source. An indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract is contemplated for the issuance of firm-fixed price task orders during a five-year period beginning in early CY 2006.
