--Vicon MX Cameras

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Vicon for the procurement of Vicon MX Cameras. These cameras are essential for Walter Reed personnel to conduct blast studies under a DARPA project. The acquisition will proceed under the other than full and open competition procedures outlined in FAR 6.302, as Vicon is deemed the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the agency’s unique requirements. This notice is not soliciting competitive quotes, but interested parties may submit written responses within fifteen days if they believe another supplier can meet the requirements and that competition would benefit the government. Absent such responses, the purchase will be awarded without further notice. The solicitation, identified as W74MYF8304N304, was posted on December 1, 2008, and falls under NAICS code 334510, which pertains to electromagnetic equipment manufacturing. All inquiries and responses regarding this action should be directed to the designated point of contact at the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity. The procurement supports critical research activities and underscores the necessity of specialized equipment from a singular supplier to meet stringent project needs.
