- Description
- Sole Source Justification The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Branch, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of a running gear system for the Air Force Packaging Technology and Engineering Facility. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(c). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 336413. Size standard is 1000 employees. The proposed source is Aerol Co. Inc., 19560 S. Rancho Way, Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220-6038. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Aero brand running gear system specified in this purchase request is the only system available that has been designed to meet all of the AF's requirements. The running gear interfaces with a trailer designed to use this specific system to meet interface, suspension, steering, load bearing, towing, aircraft transportation, and braking requirements. The running gear system required must be independently attached to the trailer at the aft left and aft right corners without a tbru axle in order to allow an open space in the center of the trailer required for proper function. All other running gear options have been surveyed and are unable to meet the specific open center requirement. Procurement of any other system will result in fitment/interface issues with existing equipment designed to use this running gear system; add undue cost of approximately $75k for additional engineering design, evaluation, and testing; and delay further planned testing with this specific running gear in the system environment by approximately six months. This delay would also cause a schedule slip by missing the MQ-9 program Initial Operating Capability (IOC) milestone by approximately six months. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website: www.SAM.gov Any quotations should be e-mailed to dustin.gilroy@us.af.mil or faxed to Dustin Gilroy at 937-257-3926 no later than 16 May 2014, 10:00AM (Eastern Time). Only proposals received by this date will be considered. Any questions should be directed to Dustin Gilroy at 937-522-4606. Be advised that all correspondence sent via e-mail shall contain a subject line that reads " FA8601- 14-T-0150 Running Gear System".
