- Description
- The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Western Shelter Systems Inc. (WSSI) for the re-supply of National Disaster Medical Systems (NDMS) inventories in support of the Disaster Medical Assistance (DMA) mission. The proposed award is for $1.4M under NAICS 624230. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, WSSI, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as implemented by the FAR Part 6.302-1. WSSI is the only known available source with unique capabilities to satisfy NMMS requirements because the Rapid Deploy Shelter System product it manufactures has become the standardized sheltering system used across NDMS programs. Due to the nature of the Rapid Deploy Shelter System and the specificity of component parts within that system, it is considered critical that any supplier possess the requisite knowledge and capability to readily supply system-specific accessories for seamless integration into the system and replenishment of existing inventories. The purpose of this notice is to determine whether there may be other sources with the necessary expertise and qualifications to supply the Rapid Deploy Shelter System package accessories. Any source capable of supplying the accessories should submit a statement of capabilities with documentation supporting its ability to meet the Governments requirement as articulated above. This notice is issued for information purposes and is not a request for competitive proposals. Any interested party should submit a statement of capabilities in sufficient detail to determine if the requirements of this notice can be met no later than 15 days from the date of the announcement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed action based on responses from 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. Reponses to this notice must be sent via e-mail to William.Li@psc.hhs.gov.
