Sole Source - Ballistic Protective Solutions

The FISC Norfolk Contracting Department at the Groton, Connecticut office plans to award a sole source purchase order to Mikro Systems, Inc. for a research and development project focused on creating flexible ballistic protective solutions. This procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures and will bypass the usual full and open competition process, in accordance with federal acquisition regulation FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source contracts under specific conditions. The decision to forego competition follows a determination made from responses to a prior Request for Information. The solicitation, identified by the number N0018909TG081 and categorized under NAICS code 541330, is scheduled for award on July 13, 2009. This notice serves as an announcement of the planned contract award rather than a solicitation for bids or offers. The effort is specifically targeted at developing advanced protective materials, likely addressing defense needs, and reflects a streamlined acquisition approach to meet specialized requirements efficiently.
