New equipment ONLY, NO remanufactured products FOB DESTINATION CONUS 1. I recommend that the Department of State use other than full and open competition for the acquisition of Pulizzi Engineering, Inc., Dual Power Distribution and Control Products. The estimated cost is $29,000.00. This requirement will be used for the new Alternate Communications Site (ACS). This requirement will allow the systems personnel at the ACS to install these devices without any systems or facility modifications thus greatly reducing the main PDU excessive power spikes by allowing a second PDU to come online. These Pulizzi Engineering, Inc., Dual Power Distribution and Control Products are unique in that, after an extensive search and previously posting our requirement on FEDBID, it appears that they are the only vender that manufactures a Dual Input Power Distribution Unit that meets our unique requirement and specifications. The previous FEDBID APC solution and proposed products were of lesser quality and did not meet the required specifications and would have forced this division to order 16 additional units at an additional cost of over $7000.00 which is unacceptable. The acquisition of Pulizzi Engineering Model T2235-C1-CNB09L Dual Input Auto Switching Power Distribution Systems and their Model 010-9334 Power Adapters conforms to the existing Alternate Sites systems infrastructure and design. Receipt of the items only would accommodate this urgent power requirement by being easily installed in the rack systems immediately upon receipt. 4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. SUBPARA 6.3 ? Other than full and open competition paragraph 6.302-1 ? Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
