Intent to Sole Source to Stratasys Inc., Repairs for Stratasys F900 3D Printer

The Commander Fleet Readiness Centers intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Stratasys Inc. for the evaluation, maintenance, and repair of a Government-owned Stratasys F900 3D Printer, Part #125-6000, Serial #L2444, located at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest in San Diego, California. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1 because Stratasys is the Original Equipment Manufacturer with exclusive proprietary rights to the printer’s software, diagnostics, firmware, and authorized service procedures, making it the only source capable of restoring the equipment to full operational status. The contractor must perform all work in strict alignment with OEM specifications, complete repairs within 120 days of award, and ensure the printer is fully functional by the June 18, 2027 deadline. All work must occur during FRCSW operating hours, Monday through Friday, 0600–1430, and require on-site presence with all necessary tools and parts. A detailed Field Service Report compliant with CDRL A001 must be submitted electronically within seven days of completion, including technician information, equipment data, work performed, and corrective recommendations. Contractor personnel must obtain prior authorization for base access by submitting SECNAV Forms 5512/1 and 5512/5 at least ten days in advance and must check in at the Visitor Control Center to receive a DBIDS badge, which must be worn visibly and returned daily. The contractor is responsible for return shipping of all tools, core exchanges, and unused materials and must provide a warranty equivalent to that offered to commercial customers. Cybersecurity compliance is mandated under DFARS 252.204-7021, requiring CMMC Level 1 certification due to handling of Federal Contract Information. Any work beyond the original scope requires express written approval via contract modification from the Procuring Contracting Officer, with no additional invoicing permitted without such authorization. While the solicitation is non-competitive, other sources may submit a capability statement within three days of the notice date, but only if they provide verifiable certification from Stratasys Inc. as an authorized service provider. The contract is Firm-Fixed Price, and no pricing details are specified in the documentation, though it operates under the simplified acquisition threshold. The Technical Point of Contact for all operational matters is Chris Collins, and all correspondence must be coordinated through the COMFRC Procurement Group in Pat
