66--Trimble GXA Bundle

The ERDC Contracting Office plans to procure the Trimble GXA LiDAR system with TSC2 from Trimble Navigation Limited through a sole source solicitation under FAR 6.302-1, justifying that Trimble is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's interoperability requirements with existing software and hardware. This procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures as a commercial item under FAR Part 12. The government has notified interested parties that they may submit their qualifications in writing by 10:00 a.m. CST on September 2, 2009, to be considered for potential competitive evaluation; however, the government reserves the right to proceed without competition based on responses received, and no RFP will be issued from this notice. This contract, identified by solicitation number W81EWF92165736 and associated with NAICS code 334519, reflects a purchase aimed at fulfilling agency needs with specialized technology only available from Trimble Navigation Limited. While the government invites submissions from other organizations expressing capabilities to perform the required effort, the primary intent is to execute this award under a sole source acquisition due to the unique nature of the product and compatibility considerations. Communications must be in writing, with no oral replies accepted, and submissions should be directed to the designated government contact.
