- Description
- It is the intent of this agency to award a sole source contract under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements. This agency intends to award to Stuewe & Sons, Inc. The requirements for the styroblocks are as follows: Need to purchase 6,851 blocks of the Ventblock 20, 45/340 and 4,522 blocks of the Ventblock 10, 77/170. The Ventblock containers, which are expandable polystyrene (EPS) stryofoam growing containers, are to be brand name or equal with salient characteristics to Beaver Plastics Ventblock, block model 45/340 and 77/170. The containers must be made of Ventblock foam to insulate the root plug from extreme cold and warm temperature fluctuations. The containers must be rectangular in shape with nominal measurements of 23.6" x 13.8" (60 cm x 35 cm) to accommodate the approximately 61,400 square feet of bench top framework at the the Placerville Nursery. The Ventblock 20 must provide 45 cavities per block. Each Ventblock 20 cavity shall have a volume of 20.5 cu in. and must be 6.0" in depth and have a top diameter of 2.4". The Ventblock 10 must provide 77 cavities per block. Each Ventblock 10 cavity shall have a volume of 10 cu. in. and must be 6.0" in depth and have a top diameter of 1.7". Each cavity must have ridges to prevent root spiraling and will have a hole at the bottom large enough to allow moisture and root egress, but not so large that growing media can escape while filling and in use. The top and bottom surface of the blocks must be flat without legs or protrusions that would prevent the containers from traveling under the sowing and extraction equipment at the nursery. The containers must be white to reflect shortwave radiation and emit less longwave (heat) radiation to prevent stressing seedling foliage. The EPS will have added ultraviolet light blockers to allow the containers to be used for at least 3 years (crops) in full sun. This notice of intent is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. However, The Government will consider all capability statements, addressing the specifications above, received by ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬4:30 pm, Thursday February 14, 2013.
