- Description
- The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of a one base year plus one option year maintenance extended service agreement for a HORIBA Elipsometer Thin Film System the Government already owns. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106 (b)(1). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 811219 Laboratory Instrument repair and maintenance services. Size standard is 500 employees. The proposed source is HORIBA Instruments, Inc. 3880 Park Ave, Edison, NJ, 08820-3012. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by 8 September 2015 4:30 PM Eastern. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Government requires maintenance on a HORIBA Elipsometer Thin Film System. HORBIA Instruments, Inc. provided the original equipment and no other company can provide maintenance or service to this equipment. Since the AFIT/ENG already owns the HORBIA equipment, a service agreement is critical to the continued use of the equipment, and provide maintenance for the equipment at minimum cost and saving on emergency repairs. HORIBA Instruments, Inc. is the only authorized supplier that will provide the service extension for the HORIBA Elipsometer. It is critical to have the elipsometer in good working condition in order for the students to meet their time constraints on their experiments and not be delayed for graduation. If the AFIT/ENG were to acquire maintenance services from another company, it would have to procure a new Elipsometer from that same company, which would create a substantial duplication of cost. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website: www.SAM.gov Any information should be e-mailed to emmeline.spaulding@us.af.mil no later than 8 September 2015 4:30 PM Eastern. Only inquiries/Information received by this date will be considered.
