The U.S. Government currently intends to award a contract for the U.S. Army Transportation School for a Maritime and Intermodal Training Department (MITD) Fire Fighting Facility on an SOLE SOURCE basis, but is seeking vendors that may be able to perform this requirement in order to support a competitive procurement. Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses (large and small) to respond to this sources sought synopsis. In addition, small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), must describe their identifying capabilities in meeting the requirements at a fair market price, i.e., information which may help support a set-aside. The proposed sole source Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP) contract to Fisher Scientific, LLC for a shipboard Fire Fighting Facility and trainer to allow students to be trained in a fully immersive yet controlled environment under ideal-to-extreme conditions. Using different multiple compartments, water tight doors, and smoke generating systems gives training at all skill levels in performing and supervising firefighting tactics, techniques, and procedures. Fisher Safety developed the original fire trainer design and has specifications to produce the future project. To introduce additional companies to reproduce a newer version of the existing training design would risk incompatibility with the existing training, also Fisher Scientific owns the rights to the design. The statutory authority for the sole source procurement is 10 United States Code 2304(c)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Attached is the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).

This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. Further, the U.S. Government is not seeking quotes, bids or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this sources sought notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
