--Kiosk Project for medical pre and post deployment.

The U. S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, 820 Chandler Street, Fort Detrick, MD, intends to negotiate a follow-on SOLE SOURCE procurement with Vecna, Technologies. The contractor will provide hardware and software and systems engineerin g for the automation and electronic capture of the medical pre and post deployment process at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, Fort Bliss, TX. Vecna Technologies has initiated work on this project and through no fault of their own, the location of the project as well as specific deliverables within the project have been changed to fit the business and clinical practice of the new facility. The e xisting partnership has resulted in a working relationship with established agreements that would have to be redeveloped, incurring unnecessary loss of time and expense to the Government. The current contractor is uniquely qualified in that they have alre ady begun working the integration piece for both systems. Competitive bidding would result in significant project delays, would require duplication of cost to the government, and would not result in cost savings. This is a SOLE SOURCE procurement under t he authority of FAR 6.302-1 and is not a request for competitive quotes. However, statements of capability to fulfill this requirement received from other responsible businesses prior to close of business on 13 September 2004 will be evaluated. Offerors responding to this notice must provide a statement of capability to the Contract Specialist. Please contact the Contract Specialist at +1 (555) 000-0000 or email: contact@example.gov
