- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intends to award a purchase order to U.S. Training Center Inc on the basis of other than full and open competition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Government has a requirement to add three (3) separate Bear Target Systems (24 firing points) to the existing three Bear Target Systems (30 firing points) purchased under task order: HSCECR-08-F-00072 for NFTTU Fiske Range Complex at Ft. Benning, GA. The Bear Target System is not compatible or interchangeable with any other target systems because of the inherent system characteristics, related accessories, computer software, compressors, and remote controls. Using another vendor would require the purchase of an entirely new and some of the costs would be duplicative since there is an existing, compatible system in place. Purchasing identical systems will afford this unit multiple benefits. Such as: a) The targets and related accessories, computers, compressors, and remote controls would all be interchangeable, linked and compatible with the existing Bear Target Systems purchased under task order HSCECR-08-F-00072. b) There would be uniformity on the range in terms of functionality, appearance, capability, existing training, standard operating procedures and knowledge of operation, trouble shooting and maintenance of the Bear Target Systems. c) Purchase of the additional target systems from U.S. Training Center will allow for the synchronized and standardized use of the existing computer system. Additionally, the purchase of the additional target systems from U.S. Training Center will allow for a single POC who is familiar with the target systems, including the service history of the target systems. The requirements are broken down as follows: 0001- 2 Single Section Bear Target System 0002- 1 Two Section Bear Target System 0003- 1 24 Target Control Box 0004 - 1 Air Compressor System 0005 - 24 Custom Target Arms 0006 - Air line, Electrical Conduits and Fittings 0007 - Electrical and Controls Wire Systems 0008 - Installation of Target System (including Air and Electrical Upgrades) 0009 - Freight Charges This notice satisfies the requirement of FAR 5.102(a)(4) for publicizing contract opportunities. Firms wishing to challenge the sole source decision must issue a letter of interest, referencing solicitation number HSCEMS-11-Q-00019. Businesses must provide rationale, including pricing, as to why they should be considered. Any questions or comment's pertaining to this notice shall be faxed to 202-732-7219, Attn: Jude Rubrico, DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Acquisition (OAQ), no later than August 16, 2011.
