Tack-o-scope preventive maintenance and calibration services

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) plans to award a sole source contract for preventive maintenance and calibration services on two tack-o-scopes. This procurement, conducted under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, is intended to go exclusively to Testprint, Inc., located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, as no other supplier meets the agency’s specific requirements. The contract, identified by solicitation number 10MT-0012, is not open for competitive bidding unless an interested party can demonstrate a clear advantage in competition for future procurements. Services will be performed in Washington, D.C., and inquiries should be directed to Contract Specialist Thomas O'Linn, who is the designated point of contact for this procurement. This notice is solely for informational purposes and does not constitute a solicitation. While the Government intends to proceed with the sole source award, interested parties who believe they can fulfill the service requirements may express their interest and provide evidence of their capabilities to justify competition. This procurement falls under NAICS code 541380, and any responses should clearly establish the potential benefits of competitive procurement in the future.
