Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) sub part 12.6., as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The Air Force Medical Logistics Office/Veterans Affairs Special Services intends to negotiate on a sole source basis a purchase order with Johnson Controls for the materials, equipment, transportation, and installation of 2 Leibert Data-Mate Wall Hung A/C Units in the Third MDG Hospital Laboratory at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. Current conditions indicate the existing cooling capability has reached a maximum level and additional cooling is required. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Johnson Controls is presently the Third MDG's HVAC controls Contractor with a 5 year contract in place. Because of this and the fact that these systems are propriety to Johnson Controls, and their exclusive warranty would become void if work were to be performed by another contractor, the Government believes Johnson Controls is the only vendor that can satisfy the agency requirements described above. A J&A for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. No solicitation is available. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Monica Pileggi at 301-619-4070.
