- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) Quantico, VA intends to award a sole source small purchase order to Ceradyne, Inc., 3169 Red Hill Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 for a quantity of 150 non-production Enhanced Combat Helmets (ECHs) to facilitate testing of the basic ECH Night Vision Goggle (NVG) bracket and bolt, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Ceradyne is the only responsible source available from which to procure the additional ECHs needed to conduct this NVG bracket and bolt testing. Although various contracts were competitively awarded initially, only Ceradyne's ECH design has met all technical requirements. The ECHs being sought under this proposed modification are of the exact same design as currently approved under the existing contract. As the bracket and bolt will ultimately be used with Ceradyne's ECH, testing must occur on Ceradyne's ECH to account for the helmets unique design features. The applicable NAICS code remains 339113, Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing, with a size standard of 500. This is a notice of intent to issue a small purchase order specifically to Ceradyne, Inc. for the specified quantity of ECHs in their design. This is not a request for competitive proposals or responses; no solicitation is forthcoming. The determination not to compete this contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any party interested in submitting questions or concerns regarding this notice or the Government's intent to sole source may contact the Contracting Officer at lisandra.torres@usmc.mil by 26 September 2012, 2:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. MARCORSYSCOM will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice.
