- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responsible for conducting acquisitions in support of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). NIOSH has a requirement entitled "Acoustic Emission (AE) data acquisition system" which is needed for the AE pilot project to conduct laboratory and field testing of AE roof bolt type sensors to determine if mine roof falls can be predicted in a timely manner. The CDC intends to award on a sole source basis to a manufacturer which provides an instrument that collects both AE singles and other required parametric devices. This manufacturer has been found to be the only AE instrument company to provide the capability to monitor and collect data for various other instruments including geotechnical instruments currently utilized in the field sites. This capability is important to synchronize data collection and enable the study of AE pattern recognition with other geotechnical instruments. The CDC intends to award a sole-source firm fixed price order to Mistras Group, Inc. in order to satisfy the requirement. The authority for this action is Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subsection 13.106-1; in particular, only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive offers / quotations. This is only an opportunity to provide specific and convincing information that the requirement should instead be competed and the respective capabilities of the responder. All such responses received by the closing date / time of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government whether or not to compete this proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Any quotation/response should be emailed to contract specialist Kari L. Skovira @ kuf5@cdc.gov by 4:00 p.m. on July 22, 2016.
