35--6000 Series GeoXT GPS Handheld System w/Accessories

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to award a brand name only contract to Frontier Precision Inc. for the procurement of a Trimble TSC3 Unit, specifically the 35--6000 Series GeoXT GPS Handheld System with accessories. This decision follows a competitive bidding process, but the government has exercised its discretion not to open the requirement to full and open competition, citing authority under FAR 6.302-1. The award is intended to fulfill a specific need with this particular equipment, and while the notice serves as an announcement of intent to award, it does not solicit further competitive proposals. The contract falls under the NAICS code 334511, which relates to electronic equipment manufacturing, and is managed by the Department of Defense through the W07V Endist St Paul office located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The government’s decision to limit competition is based on the unique nature of the brand name product. Any information submitted in response to this synopsis will be considered solely for the purpose of informing future procurements. The place of performance has not been specified, and no set-aside status applies to this procurement.
