- Description
- MICC-West Point intends to solicit and negotiate with only one responsible source under the authority of FAR 13-106-1(b)(1)(i). "Only one responsible source" is based on the company being the sole developer and provider of the product(s) and/or service(s) and is therefore the only source capable of satisfying the Government's requirement. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with: W. GRAHAM ARADER III LLC, 1000 BOXWOOD CT, KING OF PRUSSIA PA 19406 THE INFORMATION LISTED BELOW SPECIFIES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS SPECIAL NOTICE: WHIPPLE, Charles William (1846-1916). ORIGINAL PEN AND INK DRAWINGS for "West Point Life: A Poem, Read before the Dialectic Society of the United States Military Academy". By a Cadet. New York: D. Van Nostrand, 1866. 7 FINE ORIGINAL PEN AND INK DRAWINGS (each approximately 5 1/2 x 9 inches) BY WHIPPLE to illustrate the poem "West Point Life", including one framed, an accompanying sketchbook entitled in Whipple's hand "A Collection of Songs, Poetry, Prose and Compositions written by Cadets of the Military Academy - West Point N.Y." including 2 pages of manuscript verse from "Benny Havens Oh!", and a number of rough preliminary sketches for the illustrations; and a framed group of printed placeholders depicting Cadets. [WITH:] a copy of the published work "West Point Life: A Poem, Read before the Dialectic Society of the United States Military Academy". Oblong 8vo., (6 x 9 2/8 inches). 22 plates after drawings by Whipple. Original ochre beveled cloth, gilt (extremities a bit frayed). Provenance: with an illustrated presentation inscription on the recto of the second blank from the illustrator, West Point Cadet C.W. Whipple, to his brother midshipman David Whipple (1849-1884) at the U.S. Naval Academy dated 1866. The talented and humorous artist of these sketches and his brother David were both sons of the celebrated explorer Amiel Weeks Whipple (1818 - 1863). The sketches include one framed of the "Cit Picnic", "The Letter Home", "On Police" (cleaning the parade ground), "Hived" (two cadets busted playing cards late at night), "On Furlough" (declaring undying love to a disinterested young lady), and "Experiments in Chym", "Inspection by the Board". Lincoln himself recommended C.W. Whipple to West Point and his younger brother David, the recipient of this book, was recommended to Annapolis by President Johnson. The 1859 edition of "West Point Life" contained verses written by the 1860 graduate Horace Porter, who would become aide to General Grant during the war. The 1866 edition was expanded to include the amusing sketches by Whipple and the poem "Benny Havens, Oh!", a manuscript draft of which is included here. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any responsible source that believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency, only if received by the closing date and time of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses to this notice are due on or before 05/19/2018 by 04:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). All responses are to be sent by email to jorge.acevedo@usma.edu.
