Statutory authority is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (C) (1), Justification: Supplies (or Services) required are available from only one or a limited number of responsible source(s) and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one, or a limited number of sources under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. LMVF is currently the only qualified source that has the requisite skills, equipment, capabilities, system expertise, and resources to accomplish the required refurbishment and testing of these items. Subject to the Government's consideration, a viable source, not already qualified to provide the requisite services, should submit a concise and program specific response presenting sufficient information to substantiate that they have 1) the necessary knowledge and understanding of the requirements; 2) facilities, support equipment and employees with satisfactory qualifications; and appropriate management, and engineering experience with the Reentry System Test Set (RSTS) specifically and the Minuteman III ICBM program in general to be able to conduct the engineering/technical services (including testing and trouble shooting) requirement without technical, schedule or cost risk. In addition, any viable sources, not currently qualified, will conduct a demonstration of capability prior to award of contract. The response shall describe the potential offeror's qualifications in the following areas: 1) ICBM Re-entry programs. Describe current and past Minuteman III Re-entry program experience and relevance to the services described herein. Describe knowledge of and experience with handling of Nuclear Weapons Related Material; 2) Management System. Describe the management approach to be employed on the program; 3) Personnel Experience. Describe the qualifications of personnel projected to work on this program. Management, engineering, and technical personnel should have experience on ICBM Re-Entry systems, including the details of those programs/contracts worked; 4) Facilities. Demonstrate that the facilities to be used in this effort meet the hardware storage requirements in terms of environment and security safeguards; 5) Demonstration of Capability. Describe the plan (and schedule), prior to contract award, that demonstrates the potential offeror's capability to perform all tasks required. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The Air Force will not pay for either the effort or the associated costs to respond, or for any information provided. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
