- Description
- Sole Source. The Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Yuma Proving Ground intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price, single-award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract on a sole source basis with Mallory Engineering, Inc., 787 S 950 West, Woods Cross, UT 84087-2079. The climatic and rough handling facilities test chambers have been custom built by Mallory Engineering and integrated with computer control hardware and software upgrades. Test chamber specifications require operating temperatures ranging from -65 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit that can be achieved with specialized equipment. Mallory Engineering has designed and fabricated these test chamber systems to integrated with commercial off the shelve equipment and instrumentation. Custom application software was written by Mallory Engineering using National Instruments LabVIEW Development Software. The time and effort involved for an alternative company to reverse engineer the existing hardware and software that is required to fully understand the complexity of these systems and allow them to diagnose and repair any problem would be time consuming and not considered a cost effective approach. Mallory Engineering has performed upgrades and repairs on the government climatic facilities in the past and is the contractor most familiar with not just the custom mechanical system, but also the custom software applications and the computer control and the network connectivity requirements that are essential for accessing the test chambers through a VPN account that allows for remote monitoring capability. The facilities to be upgraded are heavily used to support test programs. It is important for the total downtime required to perform these upgrades to be as short as possible in an effort to minimize the impact on the sequential test/inspection process that involves a coordinated effort from USAYPG's other environmental test facilities. Any delay in the sequence/schedule on one of these test facilities will impact the test scheduling timeline on all the other facilities involved and can ultimately affect multiple test programs. quote mark This other than full and open competition action is permitted pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b) soliciting from a single source. The North American Classification System (NAICS) code is 541512 with a standard size of $7.5 Million.
