AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service, operating through GovWorks, plans to award a sole source contract to EaglePicher Technologies for telemetry batteries required in the HARM Missile Program managed by the Naval Air Warfare Center. This contract is non-competitive due to the specific fit, form, function, and performance characteristics of EaglePicher’s telemetry batteries, which are critical to the program's success. Introducing a different vendor at this stage would lead to redundant efforts, increased time, and higher costs, as well as delaying the test program's completion by at least one year due to the new vendor's inevitable learning curve. This action is authorized under the Department of Interior Franchise Fund and FAR 6.302-1 regulations. The notice serves solely to inform and is not a solicitation for competitive bids, though any comments within five days will be reviewed at the government’s discretion. Communication regarding the contract must be directed in writing to Richard P. Bolick at the Department of the Interior, with no phone inquiries accepted. The contract, titled "Telemetry Batteries for Flight Testing" and solicited under number 0404RP33123, was posted on September 22, 2004, and is managed by the Acquisition Management Division based in Sterling, Virginia.
