70--STARLIMS ANNUAL SILVER SUPPORT AND UPDATE

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Gordon, Georgia plans to award a sole-source contract to STARLiMS Corporation, located in Hollywood, Florida, for the provision of STARLIMS Silver Support and Update services. This procurement falls under NAICS code 541511 and is being conducted under the authority granted by 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which allows for a non-competitive award when there is only one responsible source. The government intends to use Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR part 13 and commercial acquisition procedures outlined in FAR part 12, streamlining the process without issuing a competitive solicitation. This notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation will be released. Interested parties who believe that competition would benefit the government are required to submit clear and convincing written evidence by the specified deadline of July 27, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. Failure to provide such responses will result in an award being made to STARLiMS without further notice. Oral responses are not accepted, and the decision to proceed without competition resides solely with the government. The contract facilitates the continued support and updates for the STARLIMS Silver product to meet the needs of the Department of Defense at Fort Gordon.
