- Description
- The USACE Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Contracting Office intends to issue a sole source award to C2 Innovations, Inc., 159 Memorial Drive, Unit H, Shrewsbury, MA 01545, to supply the SeaOx autonomous crawler system not later than 30 September 2019. The SeaOx crawler base specs are as follows: 15 in track, 5 x 5 ft footprint; 4 batteries and charger; Xbee radio, SPC electronics, pressure sensor, Ublox, processor; 3-axis FOG, AHRS, Encoder, RTK integration; Silvus MIMO radio with RG buoy; and Time release buoy recovery system. Three day training of the system shall also be provided. This procurement action is exercised as sole source pursuant to authority of FAR 13.5 (a) This subpart authorizes the use of simplified procedures for the acquisition of supplies and services in amounts greater than the simplified acquisition threshold but not exceeding $7 million ($13 million for acquisitions as described in 13.500(c)), including options, if the contracting officer reasonably expects, based on the nature of the supplies or services sought, and on market research, that offers will include only commercial items. Contracting officers may use any simplified acquisition procedure in this part, subject to any specific dollar limitation applicable to the particular procedure. The purpose of these simplified procedures is to vest contracting officers with additional procedural discretion and flexibility, so that commercial item acquisitions in this dollar range may be solicited, offered, evaluated, and awarded in a simplified manner that maximizes efficiency and economy and minimizes burden and administrative costs for both the Government and industry (10 U.S.C.2304(g)) and 2305 and 41 U.S.C.3305, 3306, and chapter 37, Awarding of Contracts. (b) When acquiring commercial items using the procedures in this part, the requirements of part 12 apply subject to the order of precedence provided at 12.102(c). This includes use of the provisions and clauses in subpart 12.3. This Notice of Intent is for information purposes only. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334511 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,250 employees. All sources eligible to provide the requirement must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide the requirement as outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received within 5 calendar days after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining this product through a sole source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. A determination by the Government not to compete based on 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. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Interested parties may submit their capabilities statement for consideration by the Government to Robyn.D.Wells@usace.army.mil. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (08-AUG-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
