- Description
- Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Order for Firearms The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Acquisition Management (OAM) intends to award a sole source contract in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) to SIG SAUER INC. (SIG) for firearms in support of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The firearms shall have the following technical specifications and salient characteristics: DESCRIPTION: SIG Sauer Model P239 Semi-Automatic Pistol; 239R-357-SASB2-G; Caliber.357 SIG; DA/SA; Stainless Slide; Black Nitron Finish; DA/SA Trigger; Supplied with three (3) MecGar eight (8)-round single stack magazines and SIG Lite 3 Dot (White ? Glow Green) Night Sights; and Milled locking inserts. Pricing shall include armor certification and training, as well as add-on three (3) day conceal weapon carry course for up to ten (10) total armors/instructors. PARTS: 100 - 239 recoil springs; 100 - 239 spring kits; 100 - 239 extractors; 200 - grip screws; 100 - 239 extractor springs; 10 - SIG Lite front night sight #8; and, 10 - Sig Lite night sight rear. SIG is believed to be the only source capable of providing the EPA these items for the following reasons: (1) this procurement is for alternate pistols and each will be utilized for unique law enforcement purposes; (2) a procurement of P239 alternate pistols finalizes OI's single shooting system and weapons platform safety requirements; and, (3) SIG's product line contains the only pistol in production having traditional law enforcement tested and all required safety features as stated above. The P239, which is not a standard duty issue firearm, satisfies OI's need for an undercover/surveillance weapon utilizing the identical ammunition loaded into P229 weapons. Any consideration of any other weapon type or manufacturer would corrupt the standard training and shooter expectation associated with a single shooting system. The EPA intends to purchase these items directly from the manufacturer, SIG. To the Government?s knowledge, no other distributor is able to meet the technical specifications and salient characteristics stated above, and more specifically, no other distributor is able to provide a comparable limited lifetime warranty for the pistols under a direct purchase from SIG. The warranty shall cover the firearm for 20,000 rounds or five (5) years, whichever is longer, from date of acceptance. During the period of warranty, the manufacturer will be responsible to repair/replace the firearm due to defects in material or workmanship. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROCUREMENT. It has been determined that SIG is the only source that meets the Government's requirements. No other source has been located which can provide the items, as specified, that are required. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting the EPA's requirement, as stated herein, may submit its capability by 2:00 PM ET on Tuesday, 30 August 2011, which may be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete the contract based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All questions or comments regarding this procurement shall be addressed in writing to Stefan Martiyan, Contract Specialist, via email at Martiyan.Stefan@epa.gov.
