- Description
- The Fleet Readiness Center Procurement Group Patuxent River, MD 20650 hereby gives notice of their intent to award a purchase order to Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc 150 Allen Rd Ste 302 Basking Ridge, NJ 07920 (Cage Code: 0B434) on a sole source basis in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i), only one source reasonably available and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The NAVAIR North Island NAVSUP FLC, San Diego, CA has a requirement for material and service of gas cylinders.� There is no current capability within the Navy to either produce or calibrate these gases, and there is no way for the Navy to verify the standards meet the specifications other than through auditing the company which provides the OBOGS gas mixtures. Matheson Gas Products, being the original supplier of these gas mixtures to the Navy, has been proven as a valid and capable supplier of OBOGS gas mixtures. Matheson is also the only known supplier that can provide the gas mixtures needed, do so in the time constraints required, and has been previously audited and approved by the Navy METCAL program. The inclusion of any other sources into the contract competition would require a significant amount of time that could impact the availability of current OBOGS supplies, jeopardizing the flight operational status of Navy fixed wing fighter aircraft. The replacement gases, which may be ordered individually and on an as needed basis, must match exactly those gas standards within the OBOGS gas standard set that they are replacing. For this reason, the government intends to procure these products on a sole source basis from Matheson, (Cage Code: : 0B434). THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which, if received within three (3) calendar days after the date of the publication of this synopsis, will be considered.� Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.� A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Point of contact for this requirement is Judy Heppe, Judith.A.Heppe.civ@us.navy.mil.
