- Description
- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source fixed price contract with Ocean Server, 151 Martine Street, Fall River, MA 02723, for the purpose of procuring one (1) IVER3 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice will be distributed through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 336611 Ship Building and Repairing, the size standard is 1000 employees. The Underwater Search Evidence Response Team (USERT) has a need to procure one (1) IVER3 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for mission support. The IVER3 AUV can perform survey and target localization missions, and requires very little infrastructure and support to operate. The AUV is small enough to be carried by one individual, it can operate to depths of 100 meters, operate for up to eight (8) hours) before needing to be recharged and its hull sections can be quickly separated for reconfiguration, maintenance and/or shipping. The AUV will assist USERT in fulfilling its mission of underwater evidence collection, and provide USERT with an automated sonar, photography, and vide platform for consistent scans when conditions prevent successful use of traditional side scan sonar or Remote Operated Vehicle operations, since current sonar systems require to be tethered to a boat. The requested AUV will enable USERT to map debris field as part of an underwater post-blast or transportation accident in addition to search and recovery, and will minimize the time that a diver has to be submerged in the water. Based on market research, it has been determined that Ocean Server is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the AUV with the requested capabilities, and therefore it is the only company capable of fulfilling this requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities to respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office by 5:00PM EST, Thursday 20 July 2017, by e-mail to the attention of Eliana York, Contracting Officer, at eliana.york@ic.fbi.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. A Justification and Approval (J&A) supporting this procurement is available upon request. Vendors must be registered in SAM effective 29 July, 2012, to be eligible to receive a Government contract. The FBI is utilizing a new financial system that has a direct interface with SAM. If any current FBI vendor data conflicts with SAM data, the information contained in SAM may override the Bureau current information. The Offeror's information in SAM must be updated and accurate, and shall include Tax ID#, EFT, DUNS#, address and contact information. The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be used to process payment to vendors.
