Notice of Intent - Golden Engineering, Inc.

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order with Golden Engineering, Inc. (Centerville, IN) for the purpose of procuring services and repairs of Golden Engineering portable X-ray generators on an as-needed basis. The FBI requires a service maintenance agreement to repair, clean, maintain and/or calibrate existing XRS4, XRS3, XR200, and XR150 portable x-ray equipment manufactured by Golden Engineering, Inc. Based on market research conducted and contacts made with knowledgeable individuals within the Government and related industry, it has been determined that Golden Engineering, Inc. is the sole developer/manufacturer of the FBI's existing equipment and, due to their proprietary rights of the existing equipment, Golden Engineering, Inc. is the only provider for service, repair, parts, calibration, and potential upgrades of this equipment; therefore, they are the only company capable of providing the service agreement that will satisfy agency requirements.
