AI Contract Overview

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, is seeking to upgrade the host computer for its Thermo Luminescence Dosimetry (TLD) reader systems, originally manufactured by Thermo Electron Radiation Measurements and Protection, now known as Thermo Eberline LLC. Thermo Electron is the sole manufacturer with intimate knowledge and licensing authority to handle the embedded radiation source integral to the system. Because of this unique position, the contract is being pursued under a justification that Thermo Electron is the only viable source, avoiding significant duplication of costs and delays that would occur if another contractor were selected. The procurement follows FAR guidelines that allow for non-competitive acquisition when only one source is capable of providing the specialized upgrade. Although this is not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources have the opportunity to express interest or submit proposals within 15 days from the date of publication. The government will consider any submissions in deciding whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The anticipated award date is around March 9, 2007, with responses due by February 27, 2007. The contracting office is located in Bethesda, Maryland, under the Department of Defense and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division.

Full Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, (NSWCCD) has a requirement for upgrading the host computer for its Thermo Luminescence Dosimetry (TLD) reader systems from Thermo Electron - Radiation Measurements and Protection, aka Thermo Eberline LLC, formerly Harshaw/Bicron NE/ Saint-Gobain Crystals & Detectors (SGCD). Thermo Electron is the original manufacturer of this equipment. It is the only company that presently has an integral knowledge of the system. Award of this contract to a source other than Thermo Electron would significantly increase the cost to the Navy by requiring that another source acquire an integral knowledge of the equipment together with the licensing authority to handle the built-in radiation source. Pursuant to FAR 6.302-l(a)(2)(ii), this highly specialized upgrade is available only from the original source, Thermo Electron, and - it is likely that award to any other source would result in (a) substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and (b) unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources submitting proposals within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Anticipated award date is on or around 3/9/07. Interested parties may forward capabilities statements to the point of contact no later than 2/27/07. See note #22.
