- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, intends to solicit for purchase 20 each of Gear Box Seal Kit, P/N 651229-41. The item is being purchased for stock replenishment of the Dual Polarization System spare parts. Peerless-Winsmith, Inc. is the manufacturer and owns the proprietary rights to all the drawings developed for the equipment. Peerless Winsmith is the only manufacturer of the parts for the approved Gear Box Kit. They have all the historical technical data relative to years of modifications needed in order to make the kit adaptable to changes made to major components. Peerless owns all rights to the drawings and the government cannot dictate that Peerless turn over information to outside vendors. Any other manufacturer's product may not work due to the uniqueness of the item being replaced. Any attempt to reproduce this item from any other source besides Peerless would require the Government to re-qualify the part at considerable cost to the Government whose cost savings could not be recovered using open competition. The purchase of 20 Gear Box Kits would alleviate the NWS immediate supportability need and allow responsiveness to demand, alleviating the potential of an emergency requirement. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one known source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The company is Peerless-Winsmith, Inc., 172 Eaton St., Springville, NY 14141-1197.

The Government reserves the right to solicit bids based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue an order to Peerless-Winsmith Inc., 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 the above part number.
