58--KLEIN 3000 SIDE SCAN SONAR, IRVINGTON SITE OFFICE

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, L3 Communications Klein Associates, Inc., 11 Klein Drive, Salem, NH 03079, for the procurement of the Klein 3000 Side Scan Sonar system. L3 Communications, Klein Associates, Inc. is the manufacturer and thus the only source capable of providing the Klein 3000 surveying system that will be capable of functioning with the existing customized software and equipment onboard the USACE vessel. The cost of the special software and re-training of personnel make purchase of a new system uneconomical. It is anticipated that a fixed Price contract will be awarded. The (NAICS) code is 334511 and size standard is 750 employees. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All responses received within 15 calendar days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All questions should be sent by email to Geanette Kelley, at contact@example.gov.
