- Description
- Sole Source Justification This is a notice of intent to award on a sole-source basis for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the notice of intent to award based on sole-source availability. The USDA, ARS, Eastern Business Service Center (EBSC), Wyndmoor, PA intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The USDA, ARS, intends to solicit and negotiate with Hoober, Inc. to furnish, deliver, lease and maintenance for one (1) CASE-IH Self-Propelled Sprayer. The period of performance will be from April 1, 2015 through March, 31, 2016 with three (3) one-year option periods to coincide with the current Lease and Maintenance for 13 Agricultural Tractors with Hoober, Inc. Brand Name Justification: CASE GPS Technology is required on this equipment. We know that it works reliably based on our previous experience, we have been trained on the GPS System on the Tractors. The GPS technology on the Self-Propelled Sprayer will be compatible with the 13 tractors currently in use. It also allows us to have continuity in running the equipment, without additional GPS training. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposal. However, all inquiries received within 7 days after date of publication of the Limited Sources Justification will be considered by the Government. Information may be emailed to the Contracting Officer at lisa.botella@ars.usda.gov. A determination by the Government not to complete 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. Any resulting procurement would be conducting in accordance with FAR Part 12. An award notice for Hoober, Inc. will be posted on the FBO in the near future.“This procurement requires the use of biobased products to the extent that such products are reasonably available, meet agency or relevant industry performance standards, and are reasonably priced. Where available, these products should first be acquired from among qualified products that fall under the umbrella of items designated through the Federal Biobased Products Preferred Procurement Program (FB4P)”.
