This is a new acquisition for the ERDC-EL. A service contract is needed to avoid expensive repair and maintenance costs that could be avoided with an annual preventative maintenance. The service contract needs to meet the following requirements: � Must have factory-trained and certified service technicians, proprietary tools, engineered upgrades, facilities, diagnostic equipment, parts, materials, and supplies to provide the required technical support and expertise for potential full-service repair for all the following: o TGA 5500 (Serial No. 5500-0510) o DMA 850 (Serial No. 0850-00543) o DSC 25 (Serial No. DSC2-01670) o HR 20 (Serial No. 5343-0235) � Priority telephone and email support during normal business hours for the instrument, reagents and applications � One annual preventative maintenance visit that includes labor and travel costs o Guarantee to meet specifications after preventative maintenance � Provide unlimited repairs with no additional charge for repair labor, parts and shipping � Provide a yearly preventive maintenance kit for user-performed regular maintenance � Provide latest updates in software � Re-installation in the event of a relocation � If unable to repair equipment, provide an instrument that is the same or newer model. o Include shipping between the ERDC and manufacturer if instrument is replaced or returned to manufacturer for a repair. Since TA Instruments calibrates and services only products of its own manufacturer and is a general calibration or service organization of its own equipment, they are the sole source calibrator. They have engineers that have been trained to calibrate the equipment as per TA Instruments� specification. There is no third party who can purchase Service parts from them. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement.� The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 811219 with a Small Business Size Standard of $22M.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement.� However, parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including price, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same or similar service.� All capability statements received by the closing date of the publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. 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. Capability statements shall be submitted only by e-mail as a Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, or Adobe PDF attachment to Amanda.Andrews@usace.army.mil.� Statements are due by 1130 (11:30am) Central Time 28 March 2023.� No phone calls will be accepted.� Point of Contact Amanda Andrews, Contract Specialist, Phone 601-634-5249, Email Amanda.Andrews@usace.army.mil Place of Performance Address:������� USACE/ERDC EL- ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY ��������������������� 3909 HALLS FERRY ROAD, VICKSBURG, MS Postal Code:� 39180-6199 Country:������� UNITED STATES
