- Description
- SF 1449 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies This is a notice of intent to place a sole source order with GeoComp, Inc. of Boxborough MA. The Product Service Code is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. FAR 52.212-1, 52.212-2, 52.212-3 and 52.212-5 apply to this solicitation. This action is pursuant to 41 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Mechanics Laboratory located in Lincoln NE has a need for three fully automated Triaxial Shear load frames complete with upgraded electronics, test cylinders (load cells) and pressure transducers to replace three older existing load frames and equipment which is worn-out and requires significant down time for repairs. Currently six load frames perform testing controlled by one computer and software package. In additional to the new equipment, an additional license is required for the current software to improve test results and reports. It is the intent of NRCS to purchase the equipment from GeoComp, Inc. to ensure compatibility with the current license software packages, computers and equipment (load cells, regulators, and pressure cells) and to work in tandem with other load frames. All responsible sources wishing to provide a quote shall submit the attached SF 1449 along with proof that the proposed equipment is compatible with existing GeoComp equipment currently located in the NRCS lab. Responses may be sent to judith.weber@ftw.usda.gov not later than 12:00 pm Central Time on Monday, February 14, 2011. The proposed contract action is for commercial supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 13.501. However, the Government will consider all responses received by 12:00pm CT on 14 February 2011. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action 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.
