N0016422Q0037 - SOLE SOURCE - PROCUREMENT OF ULTRA-LOK BAND CLAMPS - PSC 4730 - NAICS 332722 Issue Date: 15 February 2022 - Closing Date: 17 March 2022 - 2:00 PM EDT The proposed contract action is for the procurement of Ultra-Lok Band Clamps for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Band-It-IDEX, Incorporated, 4799 Dahlia St., Denver, CO 80216-3222 (CAGE 3BBM2) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a) (2). This is being sole sourced because it is a modified commercial item specifically designed for the TR-343 Sonar Transducer. The designs are owned by Band-It-IDEX and therefore cannot be produced by any other vendors. If alternate vendors are selected, their design would have to undergo full first article testing that could take up to one year to complete. Furthermore, if the new vendor is not capable of meeting the requirements there is high likelihood that ship schedules will be significantly impacted.
