- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Concrete and Materials Branch (CMB) has a requirement to repair the VersaLab 20K. This repair will require replacing parts, check the overall functionality, and the functionality of motorized parts. The functionality of the system including all components that are essential for equipment operation should be checked and adjusted to meet original equipment specifications. The ERDC intends to issue an award to Quantum Design, Inc. (CAGE Code: 4X977), on a sole source basis Quantum Design is the manufacturer of the VersaLab 20K instrument and is familiar with the maintenance needs and potential replacement parts should the system not perform properly. They use proprietary parts in the equipment they manufacture. Market research has indicated that other manufacturers cannot replicate the parts produced by them in a manner that they can integrate with existing hardware and software to ensure operability of the equipment per original specifications. Given this, Quantum Design is the only entity capable of providing the necessary maintenance on these systems. The award will be issued in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). The NAICS code for this requirement is 334519 with a size standard of 500 employees. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals.� A solicitation will not be issued; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.� The information submitted must be provided in sufficient detail to demonstrate the vendor's ability to fulfill this requirement.� The contractor must also provide a description of their past experience in fulfilling requirements which are the same or similar to this requirement and references for each.
