- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101, this is a notice of intent to award a firm-fixed price sole contract to the O'Gara Group, 7870 East Kemper Road, Cincinnati, OH 45249 for the acquisition of armored ambulances to support the needs of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS). This purchase shall fall under the authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. O'Gara is the manufacturer of the 12 FAM compliant, Level C armored vehicles to be provided as GFP as the solution to the Government need. The U.S. Department of State has previously procured and tested the existing armored vehicles. It is not in the Government's best interest to re-procure and test armored vehicle compliance from an alternative manufacturer as any armored ambulance from a non-Department of State approved vendor must be built, and not procured from standing off-the-shelf inventory. The need to train a new contractor to meet DOS standards for AV is not practicable. Additionally, the processes for armored vehicle testing, manufacturing, and security clearance processing are lengthy. Due to the complexity and magnitude of this requirement, as well as the medical necessity, and the abbreviated timeframe it is not possible to substitute any other contractor services. A Request for Proposal (RFP) will not be made available through the GPE; however, interested parties may submit a statement of capability for satisfying the requirement. To be considered, statements of capability must be received within fifteen (15) calendar days after publication of this notice. The formal solicitation document (RFP) may then be obtained electronically upon request. No telephone requests will be accepted. All communication shall be sent electronically to Patrick Dermidoff, Contracting Officer at dermidoffpt@state.gov
