- Description
- In accordance with FAR Part 13 and FAR Part 12, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with MTS Systems Corporation for replacement of a DC dyno controller in a MTS engine cell known as Heavy Duty (HD) Engine Cell 1. Due to the proprietary nature of the VX-In software, the existence of limited rights in data, patent rights and copyrights, MTS Systems Corporation is the only know source with the unique capabilities, required access, and knowledge to provide the upgraded dyno controller and more importantly the modifications to the VXIn system. The upgrade to HD Cell 1 is required to sustain functionality and maintainability of the HD Cell 1 aging DC dyno control system. The existing dyno controller in HD engine Cell 1 is dated and is no longer serviceable or available. The contractor shall configure, assemble, install and implement a replacement for the Digalog 2022 in Heavy Duty Engine Cell 1. The upgrade shall include a new field supply installed in the existing Siemens drive cabinet, wiring, hardware, installation, commissioning, VXIn modifications, VXIn interfacing, acceptance testing, and documentation. All current capabilities/functionality of HD Cell 1 shall be preserved after the upgrade. Acceptance testing shall include Demonstration of Successful Transient Cycle Performance per CFR 86.1341-98 Test Cycle Validation Criteria. The EPA anticipates the award of a firm fixed price type contract. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, any firm believing itself capable of meeting EPA requirements may submit technical documentation to establish the potential of completing this work. Such documentation must be submitted to the POC by August 19, 2004 in order to be considered by EPA. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE HONORED. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a sole source basis. The anticipated award date is September 15, 2004.
