Provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-06 are incorporated. The U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) intends to procure firm-fixed-price Software maintenance for the following Products: (1) Type 5551 Pulse Directivity and Polar Plot; (2) Type 7797 Basic Electroacoustic; (3) Type 8400-B BK Connect B&K File Importers; (4) Type 8401 BK Connect Hardware Setup; (5) Type 8402 BK Connect Time Data Recorder; (6) Type 8404 BK Connect Data Processing Specialist; (7) Type 8405-B BK Connect Advanced Frequency Analysis; (8) Type 8405-C BK Connect CPB Option; and (9) Type 8429 BK Connect Shock Response Analysis. Bruel & Kjaer is the sole manufacturer of the proprietary PULSE software and hardware maintenance and they do not have any resellers. Since the initial hardware and software acquisition has been executed, the Government cannot obtain competition without discarding the existing equipment. As a result, Bruel & Kjaer North America Inc. is the only contractor that can provide the PULSE Annual Software Upgrade and Maintenance required. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334515 with a Small Business Size Standard of 750 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document will be posted for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same product. All capability statements received by closing of this notification 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. Based on the above information, the only technically acceptable PULSE Annual Software Upgrade and Maintenance are provided by Bruel & Kjaer, North America Inc., 3079 Premiere Parkway Suite 120, Duluth, GA 30097. Submit email capabilities statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Brandon Roebuck at brandon.m.roebuck.civ@mail.mil. Statements are due no later than 10:00 A.M. EST on 07 July 2020.
