- Description
- U. S. Department of State intends to award a sole source contract to MBA Design & Display Products, located at 35 East Uwchlan Ave., Exton, PA, to provide a lighting source for the U.S. Diplomacy Center’s Mila Wall exhibition. The Department proposes to enter into this contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 © (1) only one available source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the Department’s requirements. The above authority has been cited for the following reasons; MBA Design & Display Products (MBA) originally installed the Mila Wall to the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Diplomacy Center and have the materials required and the knowledge that would efficiently provide the optimal lighting effects for the U.S Diplomacy Center Mila Wall exhibition. The custom interior wire conconduit and low voltage transformer were fabricated to fit perfectly inside the wall interior. MBA partnered with the lighting manufacturer, Light Craft to create lights that are unique and proprietary to the Mila Wall system. MBA modified the fixture and mounting bracket which hooks into the top U-Channel of the Mila Wall panel. This system is unique because it is engineered for the cabling to drop into the U-Channel preventing any exposure of wires when used with U.S. Diplomacy Center (USDC) existing Mila Wall system. Should another vendor be chosen to supply a light system, USDC would have to purchase a new wall system to replicate what already exists, which would lead to a substantial increase in cost and labor. This notice is neither a request for competitive proposals nor a solicitation of offers. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
