Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch intends to award a firm fixed price sole source under the authority of FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).: Biomark, LLC. 705 S 8TH ST Boise, Idaho 83702-7112, United States The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334511, Other Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is 7G22, IT and Telecom, Network: Satellite and Rf Communications Products. The object of this sole source award is to acquire the purchase of VAKI Micro Splithead digital camera/counter head and VAKI specified PC. Confirmed through VAKI that replacement components must be OEM due to proprietary firmware and software. No alternate manufacturers produce compatible camera heads or system PCs. General market review found no equivalent products that integrate with existing VAKI systems. No other vendors produce components compatible with VAKIs proprietary hardware, firmware, or software. NonOEM parts cannot interface with the system and would void support. No other sources expressed capability. Proprietary optical components; firmware locked to OEM hardware; system requires OEMcertified installation, configuration, and support. These factors prevent competition for the required replacement equipment. VAKI is the original equipment manufacturer for the Micro Splithead system and the sole provider of compatible hardware, firmware, and service. Only VAKI can supply components that maintain system functionality and support. This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation; however, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: carter_duke@ios.doi.gov. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS/OFFERS WILL BE HONORED
