AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense, through the Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, plans to award a firm-fixed-price sole source purchase order to GPM Associates LLC, operating as Forbes Custom Products, for the procurement of tabular firing tables in three different sizes of three-ring binders: 0.5 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2.0 inch. The maximum quantities sought are 7,150, 8,250, and 5,500 units respectively, with delivery expected between October 2013 and January 2014. This acquisition will follow simplified acquisition procedures under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), particularly Parts 12 and 13, and falls under the NAICS code 323118 with a business size standard of 500 employees. The intended award arises from a prior solicitation among 8(a) vendors, where submitted quotations were found technically unacceptable, prompting the urgent and compelling justification for a sole source award to avoid serious injury or financial harm to the government. Potential interested parties were invited to respond within three days of the notice's September 25, 2012 posting, with a firm deadline on September 27, 2012, to demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit future procurements. However, the government reserves the right, at its discretion, not to pursue competitive bidding based on the responses received. The notice explicitly states that no telephone inquiries will be accepted, and contact for additional information is directed to a specific government point of contact via email. This procurement aims to ensure the procurement of a specific product that meets the government’s unique operational requirements within a critical timeframe.
