J--Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The ERDC Contracting Office plans to award a sole source contract to Dynatest Consulting, Inc. for the repair and upgrade of a heavy weight deflectometer (HWD S/N 9082-014) currently owned by the government. This decision is based on Dynatest being the only known provider capable of performing this specialized work. The procurement will follow commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR part 12 and the sole source authority of FAR 13.501. While the government intends to proceed with a sole source award, it invites other organizations to submit written capabilities and qualifications by 1:00 p.m. CST on November 19, 2010, for consideration as to whether the effort should be competed. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine if there is justification to convert the procurement into a competitive process, though the government retains full discretion to award without competition. No formal solicitation or RFP will be issued based on this notice, and oral communications are not accepted. Interested parties must submit their qualifications in writing, referencing the solicitation number W912HZ03066313, to the designated contact via email. The contract pertains to NAICS code 334519, which involves electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, consistent with the specialized repair and upgrade services sought.
