49--Maintenance and Repair Shop Equipment

This contract involves the procurement of two types of fixture assemblies: 16 units of holding fixture assemblies (P/N: 93006A5000) and 11 units of test fixture assemblies (P/N: 93006A6000). These items are to be delivered to the Marine Corps Logistics Command Albany facility in Georgia. The procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition, intended to be awarded to ManTech International, the manufacturer identified by cage code 2U954, due to the lack of available competitive data for these specialized items used in support of the Third Echelon Test Set. The anticipated award date is January 5, 2006. The solicitation is a presolicitation notice under the title "Maintenance and Repair Shop Equipment" and lacks a formal competitive solicitation number, which is provided for reference only. While the government intends to source this noncompetitively, it allows proposals from all responsible sources, contingent upon registration in the Central Contractor Registration database. Additionally, vendors must be registered with the Wide Area Work Flow system for electronic payment processing, as mandated by the U.S. Marine Corps. The Department of Defense office overseeing this contract is located in Albany, Georgia, with no specific set-aside or NAICS code indicated.
