- Description
- INU TEQ, LLC has a requirement for a VDA System for Receiver Rack and Development Lab Replacement. AL2500VDA System (15VDA06 modules), one (1) each, AL2500 VDA System (7VDA06 modules) one (1) each, and 2500-PS VDA Chassis Power Supply, one (1) each. INU TEQ intends to purchase the items from Apogee Labs, 210 South Third Street, North Wales, Pennsylvania 19454. Procurement falls under FAR6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). This is a follow on procurement upgrading existing property procured on July24, 2008. The Apogee labs AL2500are identical to existing systems already installed and would allow for module level replacement as spares. This is to maintain uniformity in the systems and for interchangeable part. The hardware infrastructure dictates the same form-factor and proprietary modules and components specific to this supplier. Other similar equipment does not have the same interfaces and capabilities with what is already installed and in use. The specifications of similar equipment have been examined but do not measure up the Apogee Labs features, capabilities, and technical support. The AL2500-CH interface chassis with the plug-in modules AL2500-PS and VDA06 are the only one compatible with existing systems already installed. Other similar equipment does not have the same interfaces and capabilities. There will be substantial duplication of costs to the government to provide multiple spare units from different vendors. In addition to labor and engineering costs to verify that they meet our requirements. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 2:30 p.m. local time on March 19, 2015. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
