84--MMP-30 EOD Tracked Mobile Robot Systems and Accesories

The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division, entered into a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract modification with The Machine Lab, Inc. for the procurement of nine additional MMP-30-EOD Tracked Mobile Robot Systems and accessory parts. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number N0017412R0022 and NAICS code 334511, was executed to support Foreign Military Sales with an estimated total cost of 161,316.00 dollars. The contract was awarded as a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 because The Machine Lab, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the systems. This procurement strategy was utilized to avoid unacceptable delays and the duplication of costs associated with training and testing that would occur if a different robot system were introduced. The administrative point of contact for this action is Amanda Woodard at the Indian Head, Maryland office.
