- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA and the National Weather Service (NWS) intend to purchase 20 each of Hood, Upper, Standard, with Hardware, Belfort P/N 18295, NSN: 6660-00-117-1758; ASN: D111-1A100-1 and 20 each of Funnel, Belfort P/N 351C101U01, NSN: 6660-00-71-0435; ASN: D111-1SP105. These items are specifically manufactured by Belfort Instrument Co. for the NWS spare parts program. Belfort is the only qualified manufacturer of the D111 gage, precipitation, weighing, punched tape binary- coded-decimal, and its components. The Hood, Upper, Standard, with Hardware P/N 18295 and Funnel P/N 351C101U01are an integral part of the Gage, and is unique to Belfort's design. Any redesign and remanufacturing costs could not be recovered by using competitive processes. The use of another manufacturer's part may not work due the uniqueness of the end item being replaced. An attempt to reproduce these items from another source other than Belfort would require that the Government re-qualify the parts at a considerable cost to the Government whose cost savings could not be recovered through open competition. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase the items by part numbers. This item is being purchased for the National Weather Service (NWS), to be delivered to the National Logistics Support Center, Kansas City, MO. The intended procurement is for supplies for which the Government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions Procedures. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one known source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). However, all proposals received will be considered by the Government. This is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right to solicit bids based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue an order to Belfort Instrument Co., whichever is determined to be more advantageous to the Government without further notice. 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide this product. Interested firms should submit its name, address, point of contact, telephone number, and a brief statement regarding its capability to provide the specified hood, upper, standard, with hardware or a hood with hardware and the funnel or a funnel that provides the same fit, form and function as that specified. Any responses that provide for each part other than that specified must be accompanied by descriptive literature and certified test results that show it meets the same form, fit and function of the part number specified (P/N 18295 and P/N 351C101U01).
