- Description
- Sole Source Justification - TSI PortaCount The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13) with TSI Incorporated, 500 Cardigan Road, Shoreview, MN 55126 as the only responsible source that can provide calibration services for twenty-three (23) PortaCounts (Model Number CL-8038) at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), Anniston, AL. CDP also requires as-needed repairs and parts. TSI is the sole vendor capable of meeting CDP's unique training requirements. The standard requirements are issued from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD and TSI develops calibration criteria to meet these standards. No other company can perform NIST traceable calibration services on any of TSI's equipment. Any other aerosol based particle counting technology would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government for equipment and training. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures (IAW FAR 13). There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 561190 with a Small Business Size Standard of $11 million. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice will need to submit technical data, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same product. All capability statements received within three (3) days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Capability statements shall be submitted by email only as a MS Word or Adobe PDF attachment to Beth Farley at beth.farley@fema.dhs.gov. Statements are due by 1:00 PM Eastern, 4 May 2018. No phone calls accepted.
