- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) intends to issue a sole source contract to Creare Incorporated, 16 Great Hollow Road, Hanover, NH 03755 for the acquisition of engineering services and operational testing of the test cell and touchless droplet dispenser system of the Chemical Biological Agent Resistance Test (CBART) program. Verification testing inevitably leads to troubleshooting and modifications to correct unexpected deficiencies to bring the system into specification. Contractor support is required to conduct operational & verification testing to determine the CBART capabilities, shortcomings, anomalies, errors, and remedies. Creare Incorporated is the only company that can provide this support for the following reasons. This is a follow-on order for the acquisition of specialized engineering services for continued development of the CBART test cell, including major components thereof, within the exact meaning of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Use of another vendor other than Creare, would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The CBART test cell, test method, and equipment for assessing the penetration resistance of protective garments against chemical agents was developed by Creare. Creare Incorporated is the only company familiar with the methodology to conduct material swatch testing using chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, toxic industrial materials and the design, fabrication & operation of the CBART prototype cell in order to provide appropriate analysis and support. A Firm Fixed Price order is anticipated. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. These units will be delivered to the Naval Support Activity “ Panama City, Receiving Officer, Building 100, 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City Beach, FL 32407. The basis for award will be adequate competition. The award will be made on or about 07/31/2011. FSC Code: AN14 NAICS:541711 SBA Size Standard:500 employees
