- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command - APG, Natick Contracting Division - Orlando office, intends to award a firm fixed price contract under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, to Encapsys, LLC, for Polymeric Microcapsules with acrylic and melamine shells. Several grades of microcapsules are needed, which contain various encapsulants (core material). The core materials include essential oils of citronella, and cinnamon. These core materials are chosen based on their insect repellency properties, which are needed for an on-going 6.1 project funded by the Environmental Quality and Basic Research Program (EQBR), and a 6.2 Joint Statement of Need project funded by the Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Program (CFREP). The goal of both projects is to incorporate these microcapsules into a polymer matrix via the extrusion, coating and/or lamination process to impart a controlled release of the core material over time. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent to sole source is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received no later than 12 August, 2016, 2PM Eastern Time. Responses shall be submitted to donna.m.raimondi.ctr@mail.mil. Responses shall include, at a minimum, the following information: 1. The name of your company; 2. Company DUNS No.; 3. POC name and contact information; 4. The specific product(s) that your company offers that fulfills the same function as the items to be included on this order or evidence that your company is capable of providing the specific items mentioned above; and, 5. A description of that product(s) and its overall capabilities. 6. The subject line of the email shall state "Microcapsules with encapsulated essential oils " or it will be deleted as junk mail. It is your responsibility to demonstrate how your product(s) is capable of providing the same functionality. The Government will not seek additional information from your company if you fail to provide sufficient evidence of having a product capable of meeting the Government's needs. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government's Contracting Officer.
