61--Cylindrical Enclosures with AH rechargeable packs

The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, San Diego, Seal Beach Division is set to award a sole source contract to Lithium House in Van Nuys, CA, for the provision of 40 customized cylindrical enclosures equipped with 12 AH rechargeable power packs. These items are intended to be compatible with the existing components of the Navy's Ground Tracking System, requiring form, fit, and functional compatibility. The delivery is scheduled for eight weeks after contract award, with the destination being Corona, CA. The contract is awarded on an FOB destination basis. This sole source action is justified under U.S.C. 2304(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that Lithium House is the only responsible supplier capable of meeting the agency’s specific needs, and no other sources can fulfill the requirement. The decision not to competitively procure the items lies with the Government's discretion. The anticipated award date is January 11, 2008. This announcement serves as a notice only and does not solicit proposals or offers. The applicable NAICS code referenced is 335911 with a size standard of 500 employees.
