49--Intent to Sole-Source, Power Test, Inc., Accessories for AIDCO 450E Transmission Test Stand

The United States Property and Fiscal Office of Wisconsin plans to award a sole source contract to Power Test, Inc., based in Sussex, WI, for additional accessories to an existing AIDCO model 450E transmission test stand originally procured under contract W912J2-08-P-0051. These add-ons are intended to enhance the Combined Support Maintenance Shop's capabilities by enabling it to test multiple Allison transmission systems, including models 3500SP, 3700SP, 4000SP, 4500SP, and 4800SP. Due to the specialized nature of the equipment and the absence of other qualified sources, the procurement will proceed under Other than Full and Open Competition procedures according to FAR Part 13.106-1(b). This action represents a Simplified Acquisition Procedure and is not a request for competitive proposals, as the government has decided not to compete the requirement. Interested parties must submit clear and convincing written evidence by August 15, 2014, demonstrating that competition would benefit the government in future procurements. No telephonic inquiries will be entertained, and all responses should be emailed with confirmation of receipt. The contract is administered by the Department of Defense office located in Camp Douglas, WI, under solicitation number W912J214T0009, with the procurement falling under NAICS code 334519.
