16 -- Corporate Contract For Acquisition of Multiple Sole Source NSNs

Defense Supply Center Richmond plans to enter into a sole source contract with Rexnord Corporation for the acquisition of commercial part numbered items. The contract is structured as a requirements type agreement, featuring a two-year base period with the option to extend through four additional two-year periods. Orders for supplies under this contract will be placed through delivery orders. This procurement specifically excludes items that have an existing competitive data package, and detailed information such as National Stock Numbers (NSNs), part numbers, and estimated annual quantities can be provided upon request. Alternative offers are permitted only if they include a complete technical data package for each NSN, which must be approved prior to any consideration for award. This arrangement underscores the emphasis on a sole source relationship with Rexnord Corporation, identified by multiple Cage Codes, to supply necessary parts without competition unless a viable technical alternative is substantiated. The solicitation is identified by number SPO41002R4600 and was posted in March 2002.
