- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/ Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyard Administration (GIPSA)/ Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) in League City, TX intends to negotiate a sole source award to H&H Industries Inc. Company of Elmwood, IL for the purchase of ballasts and lighting for grading grain in the League City Circuit labs located in TX. This award will be a Firm Fixed Priced Blanket Purchase Agreement for a period of twelve months and 4 twelve month option periods for the following items: Item# Description HH750 F40Tl2 Colour-Master 75 HH753 F32TB Colour-Master 75 B234SR120M 2-Bulb T12 Electronic Ballast QHE2X32TBUNVISH 2-Bulb TB HBF Electronic Ballast QHE4X32TBUNVISH 4-Bulb TB HBF Electronic Ballast This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Authority 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) The property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency This special lighting is used by the USDA/Grain Inspection Packers and Stockyard Administration (GIPSA)/ for grain, rice, & commodity grading. The choice of lighting is crucial. Inspectors must examine kernels of grain which are judged based the intensity of color. If you have some bulbs of a different lumen, color index, and color temperature it can cause inspectors to misjudge the kernels. These H & H bulbs have a unique color index and lumens not found in any other bulbs and are the only bulbs used by inspectors because they have been proven to produce the best results. The use of any other brand of bulbs other than H & H would also require replacement of all the bulbs when only one is extinguished which would be quite costly and unnecessary. H&H Industries Inc. is a Small Business. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, if a firm believes it can meet the requirements it must furnish information about its products and services, as well as three (3) references from other customers who are using this product and custom services, to the Contracting Officer by 4:00pm. Central Time (CT) by February 24, 2014. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 335122, and the size standard is 500 Employees.
