- Description
- This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract and is not a request for competitive proposals. The National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC), under the contracting authority of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) intents to issue a sole-source, firm fixed price, award to Southwestern Industries, Inc. for a TRAK 1630 SX ProtoTrack Lathe and a TRAK DPM SX2 Bed Mill. These items falls under the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items covered under FAR Subpart 13.5 and under the guidelines of FAR Part 12, Commercial Items. The statutory authority for this sole-source procurement is U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Southwest Industries equipment is currently in use at the National Ground Intelligence Center; machinists are familiar with these systems and are currently able to accomplish mission needs. Changing to a new system would require testing for quality, reliability, and compatibility. Procurement of this equipment will create a uniform system for all the machines in the fabrication shop. Southwest Industries is the sole provider of this equipment. Award to any other source may create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's mission as a result of unfamiliarity with new equipment and the need for additional training. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, the Government shall consider all responses received within three days of this posting. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bonafide capability to fulfill the requirement. The National Ground Intelligence Center will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice.
