- Description
- This is not a request for quotations or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation, but merely notification of the 7th Contracting Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base intent to issue, on a sole-source basis, a firm fixed-price task order to Inventory Locator Service, LLC., against their Library of Congress FEDLINK contract, for access to their online ILSmart.com subscription. Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 6.302-1, the Contracting Officer has determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The ILSmart.com subscription is only available from its producer and manufacturer and not through dealers or distributors. The period of performance will be for twelve months, beginning October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. Inventory Locator Service, LLC, (ILS) manages the world's largest and most active government electronic e-marketplace (GEM) and is used to find immediate resources for the defense, aviation, and marine industries and is used when the normal supply chain breaks down and/or the lead-time is too long. Suppliers list their inventories and capabilities for access by buyers 24/7 and from around the world. ILS suppliers currently list more than 50 million line items representing 5 billion parts in stock. Buyers contact sellers directly, as ILS is not involved in the sales transaction. However, ILS provides a variety of powerful e-business tools to enable buyers and sellers to conduct business quickly and efficiently within a single tool. These capabilities include: RFP capabilities; quote tracking; parts usage statistical data; part number supply and demand evaluation tools; U.S.Government procurement data and other government files; detailed supplier profiles, including certification and contact information as well as supplier catalogs. These services provide item managers, program managers, engineers, planners and government procurement agents with commercial off -the-shelf (COTS) solutions by quickly identifying qualified suppliers who have the items they need in stock, and/or manufacturing or repair capabilities. A determination by SSA not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of SSA. Information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government does not intend to pay for information provided in response to this notice. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. Responses shall be submitted by 2:00PM ET on August 13, 2014. If SSA does not receive an acceptable response to this announcement by August 13, 2014, the 7th Contracting Squadron will procede with the process of establishing a task order with Inventory Locator Service, LLC., as the only source without any additional notices being posted. All responses must be submitted via email to trevor.taylortillet@us.af.mil
