This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c) (1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Reference Number is F1MTN13135A002. The 628th Contracting Squadron, 101 E. Hill Blvd., Joint Base Charleston, intents to award a sole source contract for Dial Gauges to Ashcroft Inc. The 628th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award to Ashcroft inc. 250 East Main St, Stratfor, CT, 06614-5145. Market research was performed and information gathered in determining this company to be the only source for this requirement. In accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 5.207(c) (16) (ii), the proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a) (2). This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals; however responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement 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. The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: In accordance with FAR 6.303-2: (1) Agency and Activity: 628 Contracting Squadron, Joint Base Charleston, SC; Nuclear Naval Power Training Unit (NPTU) (2) Nature of action being approved: Sole source acquisition. (3) The purpose of this acquisition is to Provide 13 precision pressure gauges for nuclear test equipment certification (4) Justification Rationale: IAW FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) One source is capable of providing due to no other company or authorized providers. (5) Demonstration of Unique Qualifications: The only entity able to provide the required gauges, due to the equipment being proprietary. (6) Description of Solicitation Efforts: PER FAR 5.202-(a)(13) previous notice synopsized actions were not taken. (7) The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based upon a comparison against similar items. (8) Description of market research: A search of GSA schedules and open market sources revealed that no alternative source or supplier is able to fulfill the specific requirements of each gauge, and that Ashcroft, Inc. is the sole source provider for the Heise, Precision Gauges (9) Other supporting facts: because Ashcroft, Inc. is the only supplier to Provide the Precision Gauges to complete the current gauge boards; there are no other sources capable of providing the requirement. (10) Interested Sources: No sources have expressed any interest in the acquisition. (11) Actions to prevent barriers that may lead to restricted consideration in the future: Continue to survey the market for altenative sources or equivalent items.
