59--Electronic Training Consoles and Circuit Cards

The Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville plans to issue a sole source Request for Proposal to NIDA Corporation for the procurement of electronic training consoles and circuit card assemblies. NIDA Corporation is the Original Equipment Manufacturer, and the equipment is already in use at the Center for Information Dominance (CID), Pensacola, Florida. Since only NIDA equipment is compatible with the existing systems, the government determined that acquiring alternative products would result in unnecessary duplication of cost and effort. A Justification and Approval has been approved to support this sole source acquisition under FAR part 13.5, with an anticipated firm fixed price contract award around July 1, 2014. This procurement falls under NAICS code 334419, with the relevant FSC code 5999, and the small business size standard is set at 500 employees. The acquisition is strictly for commercial items and is intended for the Center for Information Dominance as the requiring activity. Interested parties may direct questions to the designated contact, Preetam Soomai, via email or phone. This announcement serves solely as a notification of the intent and does not solicit competitive proposals.
