12 -- FIRE ALARM PANEL SYSTEM UPGRADE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE), ALBUQUERQUE OPERATIONS OFFICE (AL) SOL DE-RP04-98AL78158 DUE 052698 POC Rosa M. Amparan, Contract Specialist, 505-845-5278. Mary-Lynn C. Hartford, Contracting Officer, 505-845-4661. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will NOT be issued. This solicitation is being issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) under solicitation number DE-RP04-98AL78158. The solicitation number shall be referenced on all offers. The Government intends to contract with Honeywell, Inc., 3320 Candelaria NE, Albuquerque NM, 87107, on a sole source basis, as Honeywell Inc. has proprietary rights. The sole source authority is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), which allows procurement from the original source for continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, and award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency's requirements (see 41 U.S.C. 253 (d)(1)(B)). Existing central fire alarm room equipment is Honeywell Inc.'s Delta 1000 central processors and peripherals. No other brand of equipment or parts can be used with the existing equipment due to data transmission and physical configuration incompatibility. Use of other brand of equipment would not be economically feasible due to required change out of all existing central alarm room equipment and field data gathering panels. Although the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, all responsible sources may respond and will be considered by the Government. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-04. For information purposes, the recommended Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code for this procurement is 1731, with a corresponding size standard of $7.0 million (indicates maximum annual receipts allowed for a concern, including its affiliates, to be considered small). Firms responding should indicate whether or not they are small business, small women-owned business, small disadvantaged business, or an 8(a) business.
