- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c) (1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Mission and Instillation Contracting Command at Fort Jackson, SC intend to make a sole source award to Alter-G, INC at 48438 Milmont DR Freemont, CA 94538-7326 (USA) for an Anti Gravity Treadmill at Fort Jackson. The proposed contract action is for an Anti Gravity Treadmill and installation for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302. This procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Soliciting from a single source authorized by FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1). For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals. However all proposals received by the appointed due date will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposal 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. The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: Alter-G, INC offers the only treadmill that uses differential air pressure to incrementally and progressively permit patients with lower extremity injuries to exercise in a stress free anti-gravity environment. The Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill creates an environment for patients to perform their normal motions, pain-free. Thus having a better recovery and smoother transition back to normal activities therefore, improving patient quality of life. The anti-gravity treadmill painlessly retrains muscles to keep repairing joint movement and promotes moving in balance consequently speeding up rehabilitation time. The Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill supports full range motion for upper and lower body, keeps patients in place, maintains lateral support preventing falls associated with rehabilitation. Alter-G anti-gravity rehabilitative exercise treadmill equipment considerably lowers the stress on healing leg muscles, tendons, and hips typically seen with normal treadmills. This equipment will improve the ability to provide rehabilitation services to injured patients recovering from lower extremity injury. Other traditional treadmills sold by other manufactures suspend the patents via a pelvic harness which can further injure the patient. Response to this notice must be received via email by 28 June 2012, no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Requests should be marked with Anti Gravity Treadmill. Address questions to Charles Taylor, Contract Specialist, at (803) 751-3405, email: Charles.e.taylor46.civ@mail.mil
