59--XILINX FPGA & Loader Electronic Components

The Mission & Installation Contracting Command at White Sands Missile Range, NM, plans to award a sole-source contract for specific electronic components, namely the FPGA Component, 1.8V Core Spartan Series BGA456, and the PROM Loader, 3.3 Serial FPGA Loader, OTP, SO8, sourced exclusively from Xilinx or an authorized distributor. This procurement leverages the statutory authority under FAR 6.302-1, allowing the government to bypass competitive bidding due to a unique capability or source. While this notice signals the intent to award without competition, the government remains open to receiving written responses within a three-day window post-publication to assess potential capabilities of other suppliers, although no formal solicitation will be issued. Respondents must provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement, and this information will solely inform the government’s decision whether to proceed competitively or maintain the sole-source approach. Submission of information entails no cost or obligation to the government, and the final decision to competitively solicit or award the contract without competition lies within the government’s discretion. The contract relates to NAICS code 334419, involves the Department of Defense’s W6QM Micc-white Sands office, and pertains to procuring electronic components critical to the agency’s mission at White Sands Missile Range.
