K -- COTS MOBILE X-RAY VAN CONVERSION POC Carmel M. Costa, Contract Specialist, AMSEL-AC-CC-RT-N, (732)532-3570; Virginia Knight, Contracting Officer, FAX (732)427-3113 E-MAIL: knightv@mail1.monmouth.army.mil, costa@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. COTS MOBILE X-RAY VAN CONVERSION: The US Army, Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), Research, Development and Engineering Center (RDEC), Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD) intends to award a Time and Materials contract modification on a sole source basis. The maximum CLIN value is expected to be $200,000 for a quantity of one commercial, NDI, Model 101Z x-ray van conversion from a GM Model G20 van to a GM Model G3500 van plus several technological improvements to the x-ray unit. The original GM G20 van based 101Z x-ray system was manufactured by American Science & Engineering, Incorporated (AS&E). As the original equipment manufacturer, AS&E maintains proprietary information, technical and patent rights, and the technical expertise required to complete this integration and these upgrades on the 101Z x-ray system. This non-recurring effort is intended to extend the life of x-ray equipment previously purchased and incorporated in an older model GM G20 van fielded for the U.S. Cusoms Service (USCS). The GM G20 van has reached the end of its useful life; however, the x-ray equipment can be removed and installed in a new vehicle and re-deployed to the field, which is the type of effort required under existing contract DAAB07-00-D-K501. Once converted from the GM G20 van to the GM G3500 van, the functionality of the system must not be degraded. This means that the system must still have the ability to: (1) capture transmission x-ray and Compton scattered x-ray photons; (2) display dual imaging of transmission and Compton scattered x-ray images; (3) operate at a level of exposure less than 0.5mR per hour at 2 inches from the cabinet. The system must also maintain the following capabilities: (4) complete self-containment and the ability to operate with no additional equipment required; (5) operate either by self-contained generator power or local shore power; (6) operate in extreme environments found along southwest border locations. In addition, system changes will be performed on the x-ray unit to bring it closer to the capability of the new 101Z x-ray van systems. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Only One Responsible Source under authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(b)(2). This synopsis of intent to award sole source is not a request for proposals/offers; however, any firm capable of meeting the above requirements and desiring consideration are requested to fully identify their interest/capabilities, plus submit a bid sample of similar efforts within 15 days of the synopsis date. All correspondence and questions concerning this notice shall be directed in writing to US Army CECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-AC-CC-RT-N, Virginia Knight, Contracting Officer / Carmel M. Costa, Contract Specialist, Ft. Monmouth, NJ 07703-5000 or electronically mailed to costac@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. Posted 03/02/00 (W-SN430331). (0062)
