Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source award on the basis of other than full and open competition in accordance with 41 United States Code 1901 as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1)(i)): Only one source reasonably available, as the unique supplies and incidental services are only available from one source and awarding to any other source would not fulfill the agency�s requirements. This is not a Request for Quotes or Proposals. No contract award will be made on the basis of the responses to this notice. The purpose of this notice is to allow interested parties to assert and explain their capability to satisfy the requirement described. The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), on behalf of the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR), is issuing this notice of intent to award a new contract on a sole source basis. This is not a request for proposals. This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to pay for costs incurred from the preparation and/or submission of data in response to this notice. The Government intends to award a sole source contract to K Bar Livestock, LLC. This requirement is to provide a new firm fixed price 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the delivery of goats for ongoing research. Technical requirements are outlined below: Castrated male goats. Weight range of 40-55 kgs. Free of common domestic goat diseases. Q-Fever and Brucellosis-free. Contractor must be a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Licensed facility. To preserve the integrity of ongoing experiments and guard against genetic variability, goats must be sourced from K Bar Livestock, LLC. The Delivery Requirements are as follows: Deliveries will be made to USAISR loading dock located at 3698 Chamber Pass, Building 3611 San Antonio, TX 78234. Goats can arrive any day of the week. This gives the vendor and USAISR the flexibility to have them delivered to meet the vendors and schedule requirements. This contract will be issued on a sole source basis, as the Government�s market research indicates that K Bar Livestock, LLC. is the only source capable of providing the requested services. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 112990 (All Other Animal Production) and the small business size standard is 1,000 employees. Any sources that believe they are eligible and capable of providing this ongoing study must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence articulating the ability to provide the items outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered an affirmative response. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the contract will be awarded without further remark. This notice is provided solely as information to the marketplace.
