- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) intends to issue a sole source award to Stancills, Inc. (CAGE Code: 3FKG8) to procure 60 tons of engineered soil for numerous projects in the areas of Underbody Blast (UBB) research. �Soil type and placement conditions are critical factors when conducting Underbody Blast (UBB) experiments. One of the most prevalent challenges presented within this testing community is how to conduct a UBB test that can be replicated in a series of test schedules performed in another geographic region. Soil is among the most critical variables affecting UBB test results because soil types and conditions are constantly varied from one location to the next. Conducting a UBB experiment on a repeated basis proves to be a significant challenge unless Engineered Soil (ERS) can be procured. ERS refers to any soil material that meets a series of geotechnical specifications laid out in Chapter 2 of ATC�s IOP-SLV-005 Rev1. The unique characteristics detailed are critical to the continuation of the GSL�s mission and continued research in this sponsored UBB test series. Since alternative material will not be deemed acceptable, it is determined that Stancills, Inc is the only vendor that can provide the engineered soil that can meet the government�s exact specifications. The award will be issued in accordance with FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i). The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code that this work falls under is 212321,Construction Sand and Gravel Mining, with a size standard of 500 employees. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. 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.� 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 on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.� Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.� Responses to this requirement may be submitted to Angie Stokes at angela.m.stokes@usace.army.mil no later than 12:00PM CST Tuesday, 21 March 2023.
