The United States Air Force plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Megmedix, Inc. of Fitchburg, MA, for the procurement of a Portal Style Ferromagnetic Detector Package, specifically including part numbers 03-FA2000H and 03-PD140. This acquisition will be conducted under simplified acquisition procedures and other than full and open competition as allowed by FAR 6.302-1, due to the specialized requirements necessary to meet government needs. The key features justifying this sole source action include the prescreen’s ability to detect objects without emitting electromagnetic radiation, detailed installation and mounting instructions provided exclusively by Megmedix, and the availability of free onsite planning services to support installation. The anticipated award date for this contract is August 24, 2007. This notice serves only as an intent to negotiate and is neither a request for proposals nor an invitation for competition. The government retains full discretion on whether to proceed with a competitive process based on any information received.
