- Description
- Procurement action being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 with the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (c), as only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the requirement; therefore proposals cannot be submitted directly on this notice. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) intends to award a sole-source contract to SEA Ltd., 7349 Worthington Galenda Road, Columbus, OH 43085-1519 for accurate center-of-gravity (CG) height measurements on a selection of approximately 100 light vehicles for the purpose of determining Static Stability Factor (SSF) of each vehicle. SEA Ltd is the only known source that can provide testing and measurement services that meet the accuracy and repeatability requirements that NHTSA has determined are necessary in the Agency's efforts to address the highway safety problem of light vehicle rollover. This sole source is based compatibility with existing equipment and procedures to meet the Agency's technical requirements and schedule. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. This sole source procurement is based on 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) which states that supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source. Any change would be cost prohibitive. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source procurement action and is not a request for competitive proposals. Firms who want to challenge the sole-source must submit an interest letter that demonstrates the firm's ability to provide an equivalent service as described above. Interested parties must provide rationale, including pricing, as to why they should be considered. All interested firms must respond by June 10, 2013, 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time to Sherese Gray, REF: DTNH22-13-R-00737, NHTSA, Office of Acquisition Management, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590 Email Sherese.Gray@dot.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement action based upon responses to 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. NHTSA will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the capability information.
