66--Kruss DSA 100 Goniometer Accessories

The U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, through the Natick Contracting Division representing the Natick Soldier Research, Development & Engineering Center, plans to award a firm fixed price contract exclusively to Kruss America LLC of Matthews, North Carolina. This contract involves the procurement of proprietary accessories for the Kruss DSA 100 Goniometer, including software-enabled axis control, a tilt base assembly, and an environmental chamber with humidity and temperature controls. The acquisition is conducted under the Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for a sole-source contract due to the unique nature of the required items. Potential interested parties are invited to submit bids or proposals, which will be evaluated despite the intended sole-source award, under the designated NAICS code 334516 and SIC code 3826. The contract was posted on May 22, 2015, and inquiries were to be directed to the contract specialist, Robert Marchetta, by June 1, 2015. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense agency identified as W6QK Acc Ccdc Sttc, with the office located in Orlando, Florida. This contract underscores the specialized nature of the components necessary for the Kruss DSA 100 Goniometer, reinforcing the justification for limiting the source to Kruss America LLC.
