- Description
- The U.S. EPA intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with HBM, Inc. for three 2k Nm inline torque meters and wiring for the U.S. EPA National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The NAICS code is 334516. The size standard is 1000 employees. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed price (FFP) contract. This requirement will be procured utilizing FAR Part 12 and 13. NVFEL already utilizes many HBM T40b inline torque meters in their test cells. The HBM torque meters have a unique wiring pinout, signal conditioning and mechanical bolt pattern which is proprietary to HBM for which NVFEL has standardized its test cells around. These new torque meters are meant to be directly interchangeable replacements and will be used to update the capacity of the ones currently in use. If another product is used, a significant rework of the test cell would be required costing additional time and resources. This rework would involve fabricating new mechanical adapters to the dynamometer drive shaft as well as rewiring that channel to the test cell controller as it will have a different wiring pinout and signal requirements HBM, Inc is the only known firm to provide the required torque meters. Interested firms may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETATIVE QUOTATIONS. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Sources wishing to be considered by the agency MUST submit documentation to the office identified in this notice. Documentation must be submitted within 15 calendar days of the date of publication of this notice.
