- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Reference Number is F1M3E31196AQ01. The 628th Contracting Squadron, 101 E. Hill Blvd., Joint Base Charleston, intends to award a sole source contract for the Airfield Lighting Control System (AFLCS) upgrade at Joint Base Charleston, SC - Air Base.� The 628th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award to EdgeCom Systems Inc., 3717 Station Point Ct., Mount Pleasant, SC 29466-8316, United States. In accordance with (IAW) FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), the proposed contract action is for a service for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(b)(ii). This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals; however, responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation that shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: In accordance with FAR 6.303-2: (1)�� �Agency and Activity: �628th Contracting Squadron, Joint Base Charleston, SC. (2)�� � Nature of action for approval: �Sole source acquisition. (3)�� �This procurement is for the AFLCS upgrade to include associated equipment, installation, commissioning, and training for 628 CES at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base. (4)�� �Justification Rationale: IAW FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), one source is capable of fulfilling this requirement due to the proprietary nature of the system equipment and associated parts. (5)�� �Demonstration of Unique Qualifications: The Airfield Lighting Control System (AFLCS) in place at Joint Base Charleston was configured and provided by EdgeCom Systems, Inc. over 15 years ago. The AFLCS modems are now failing and causing intermittent loss of control, reducing system reliability. As a result, these modems must be replaced and interfaced with the existing AFLCS system. Interfacing requires access to and modification of the contractor's proprietary computer system and associated software. Therefore, EdgeCom Systems, Inc. is the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement.� (6)�� �Description of Solicitation Efforts: IAW FAR 5.102(a)(2), this notice will be posted on the Government-wide Point of Entry (SAM.gov) and retained in the contract file to document the rationale for a sole source award. (7)�� �The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. (8) �Description of market research: EdgeCom Systems, Inc. was queried for authorized service providers however, none currently exist.� (9) Other supporting facts: N/A (10) Interested Sources: N/A (11) Actions to prevent barriers that may lead to restricted consideration in the future: The Government will continue to surveille the market for authorized service providers �as well as any changes or new entries to the market place that may allow for the use of other vendors in future requirements.� (12)�� �This justification is accurate and complete to the best of the Contracting Officer�s knowledge and belief.
