- Description
- This is a sole source notice issued in accordance with FAR 5.203(a) and FAR 13.106-1(b). On September 5, 2011, DARPA will host an executive roundtable discussion for senior leaders from industry in the Asia-Pacific region, titled "The Future of Make," on the future of manufacturing and product design. To support this event, DARPA seeks to gather data on Asian precision and heavy manufacturing of electromechanical systems and associated design/systems engineering approaches. The purchase order to be negotiated with Asian Technology Information Program (ATIP) fulfills this need. This purchase order is essential to gather supporting data at the appropriate level of depth necessary to support the upcoming meeting within the specified timeframe. A critical differentiator for this procurement is the extraordinarily rapid timeline on which a custom survey report product must be delivered, such that conducting a competitive procurement is infeasible. The performing organization must have, specific to the region and industry focus in question: existing datasets, contacts, and knowledge repository; an established, robust network of industry relationships already in place; deep existing and readily-available staff expertise in the state of the art and trends; and specific expertise in rapidly synthesizing custom report products. ATIP's staff and associated contacts have significant existing expertise and content on which build the custom product required by DARPA. It is believed that ATIP possesses unique insight into the design and manufacturing enterprises specific to the Asia-Pacific region, and specific to companies and countries of interest to DARPA. This announcement constitutes the only synopsis for this requirement. It is not a request for proposals (RFP) and is issued for notification purposes only.
