53--Electronic Key Equipment

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Sill, Oklahoma plans to award a sole source contract to ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Inc. DBA Vingcard Systems for the repair and replacement of existing Vingcard products. This decision is justified under the Federal Acquisition Regulation allowing sole source contracts when only one responsible source is available that can meet the agency's requirements. The relevant NAICS code for this procurement is 332510, with a size standard of 500 employees, indicating the industry classification and business size parameters. The notice is not a solicitation for bids but an intent to proceed with a sole source award unless compelling evidence supporting competition is received within four calendar days from the posting date. Interested parties must submit their responses by 4:00 pm CST on July 27, 2015, demonstrating clear advantages of competition for the government. Absent such responses, the contract will be awarded without further notice. All inquiries must be submitted in writing and directed to the designated contracting officials at MICC Fort Sill. No solicitation package will be distributed, underscoring the exclusivity of the vendor due to the proprietary nature of the repair and replacement services required for the Vingcard electronic key equipment covered by this contract.
