Code and Criteria Review of Current Design Effort

The 145th Mission Support Group Contracting office in Charlotte, NC intends to issue a written request for quotation and resulting sole source contract to BERGMANN ASSOCIATES INC for a code and criteria review of an already accomplished 100% B-3 Design effort. BERGMANN ASSOCIATES INC is the firm who accomplished the original design in 2010. Bringing the original design up to date with current code can only be accomplished through BERGMANN ASSOCIATES INC as they own the copyright to the design effort. Re-accomplishing the design completely is not cost-efficient compared to performing the update. Anticipated award date is 30 September 2016. This action is being taken in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source." A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in preparation of any capabilities statements or documents prepared for this notice. NOTE: If documents are sent via e-mail, the contractor will be responsible for validating Government receipt by contacting the Contracting Officer Zachary Leddy at contact@example.gov. No solicitation is available at this time and telephone requests for information will not be taken.
