- Description
- INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT Air Force Materiel Command, Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright Patterson AFB OH, intends to award a Sole Source Procurement. The Government intends to issue a sole source purchase order for an upgrade to an existing Synergistics Wapac PRO System, to include Wapac Firmware, professional Software Upgrades, Wapac Professional Software Maintenance, Card View interface Licenses, Datacard Duel card Printer, US camera, tripod, extension, backdrop, High Security RFID Proximity reader/keypad system, AWID Pro cards, Datacard ribbon kits, installation, maintenance, testing, and training. This Wapac upgrade is necessary for ASC/HP to satisfy mission requirements. The high performance supercomputer center intends to award a purchase order by other than full and open competition in accordance with 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement was made because R.W. Bowen is the only responsible source that will satisfy the Government requirement. This upgrade is the only one compatible with the existing Wapac system at ASC/HP. The Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC) is a controlled facility that requires a multi-person team on-site 24 hours per day. The computers must remain in operation around the clock and any delay or possible shut down would affect programs of national interest. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide timely and effective supplies/services within five (5) days of this publication. Mr. Stephen J. Miller has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors, or potential offerors. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. Existence of the Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer. Accordingly, the Ombudsman does not participate in the preparation of solicitations, the evaluation of proposals or the source selection process and, therefore, for routine matters on individual solicitations, please contact the buyer at the telephone number listed herein. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, Mr. Miller can be reached at (937) 255-5315, DSN 785-5315, FAX (937) 656-7193, e-mail: Stephen.Miller@wpafb.af.mil.
