SIG has been identified to be the only responsible source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(1) capable of providing the DOS these items mentioned above. The SIGs product line contains the only pistol in production having traditional law enforcement tested and all required safety features as stated above. SIG can furnish an immediate order of over 1000 weapons and parts for immediately replacement of the P228 weapons which will provide significant cost, and time savings to the Government who intend to deploy these weapons to replace weapons for our Domestic Contract Guards that are all ready trained and fire arm range tested on these similiar weapon systems. The DOS intends to purchase these items directly from the manufacturer, SIG. To the Governments knowledge, no other distributor is able to meet the technical specifications and salient characteristics stated above in the quantity needed of over 1000 weapons in the timeline needed to replace the older model P228 weapons currently being furnished as Government Furnished Property to the Contractor providing all of the U.S. Department of State's Domestic Guard Protection of Facilities, 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 Governments 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 DOSs requirement, as stated herein, may submit its capability by 1:00 PM ET on Wednesday, 28 September 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 Vincent J. Sanchez, Contracting Officer, via email at Sanchezvj@state.gov.
