- Description
- This special notice represents the Government�s intent to award a sole-source contract to Survival Systems USA, Inc. This contract requirement is to obtain modular egress training (�dunker training�) to prepare flight crews for emergency exit in the case of a crash landing over water. The training involves an aircraft fuselage submerged in water, and the crew is trained in exiting the aircraft (simulation) and getting to the surface safely. This training must be conducted every four years in accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 95-1, and performed at a DOD accredited or certified facility. The regulation requires that all helicopter crews performing over-water operations be dunker qualified. The Rhode Island Army National Guard (RIARNG) intends to solicit, negotiate with, and award to only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106. The RIARNG has a requirement to contract with Survival Systems USA, Inc., in order to meet the requirements of AR 95-1, while eliminating unnecessary travel and related expenses�to the Government. The requirement will be fulfilled at the contractor�s location in Groton, CT, which is within 55 miles from the requesting activity�s duty location. The purpose of this action is to inform the industry of the RIARNG�s intent to sole-source a contract to Survival Systems USA, Inc. The RIARNG anticipates releasing a solicitation directly to Survival Systems USA, Inc. in July 2020. Award is anticipated to be approximately early August 2020, with a three day performance period beginning mid-September 2020. The Sole Source Justification will be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE) beta.sam.gov post-award, within 14 days after contract award. The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 611699 �All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction� with a business size standard of $12M. The applicable PSC for this requirement is U099 �Education/Training � Other�. This notice does not constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The intent of this notice is to provide the pre-solicitation information required by FAR 5.201 Synopsis of Proposed Contract Actions. However, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency, only if received by the closing date and time of this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract, based on responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Any questions or responses regarding this notice must be submitted in writing ONLY to timothy.j.caron4.civ@mail.mil and lori.a.zolofra.civ@mail.mil, no later than 1:00 PM local time (East Greenwich, RI) on July 27, 2020.
