- Description
- Army Contracting Command-New Jersey, Fort Dix intends to solicit and award on a sole source basis to WFEL Limited, Sir Richard Fairey Road, Heaton Chapel, Stockport, Cheshire SK4 5DY England. This requirement is to acquire a Dry Support Bridge Training Aid which will be utilized for training classes for Bridge Crewman in Support of the 80th Training Command. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. This is a notification that the government intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis for a Dry Support Bridge Training Aid. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to provide contracted supplies unless specified as being provided by the Government. The Dry Support Bridge (DSB) is a rapidly erected, modular component bridge manufactured by WFEL Limited, Stockport, England. The 80th Training Command has a requirement for a working scale model of the DSB system which is required to give the soldiers a better understanding of the DSB system before attempting to build in a live environment. WFEL Limited has previously provided the required working scale models of the DSB and they are currently the only contractor who can currently provide the required supplies without a substantial duplication of costs to the government since they are the sole manufacturer of the DSB. Any other vendor would have to design, develop & fabricate the DSB training aid. The Government does not have a technical data package, government furnished property or a 3D CAD model of the bridge for fabrication by another contractor. In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization). Since a technical data package is not available, only one source, WFEL Limited is reasonably available to provide the required supplies without a substantial duplication of cost. The anticipated Award date is on or about 19 September 2014 and award will be made on an unrestricted basis under NAICS Code 332313 with a Size Standard of 500 employees. This is a commercial acquisition. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No telephone responses will be accepted. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement within five (5) days of this announcement. Responses are due No Later Than 16 September 2014 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Questions may be addressed in writing to the Contract Specialist, Lori Cahill via e-mail at lori.a.cahill2.civ@mail.mil.
