- Description
- Notice of Intent:� The USDA, ARS, SEA intends to award a sole source procurement to American Ingenuity, Prairieville, LA. 70769, as they are the sole source for this type service pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy agency Requirements.�� The award will be for upgrading existing sugarcane roller mill.� The engineers and technical personnel that work for this company have extensive experience working on sugarcane milling and processing equipment with many of the employees having worked for local sugar mills. The combined years of experience in the sugar industry for this company is greater than 100 years. This experience will be critically important during the problem diagnosis stage of this process and could significantly shorten the time required. In addition, the experience with similar equipment in sugar mills, will allow for a more rapid and accurate, disassembly, repair, reassembly and optimization. American Ingenuity is also a local company which will minimize the travel time required to complete this project, as this project will require separate trips to disassemble and diagnose, repair, and optimize operation. More generally, American Ingenuity routinely, designs, engineers, fabricates and manufactures equipment under ""one-roof"". Although, other vendors may have experience in the general manufacturing process, none of those identified as potential sources have experience with sugarcane milling equipment. We believe that this lack of industry specific knowledge could serve as a potential limitation to the successful completion of the project and pose a high risk to Government. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price contract on or about August 08. 2020, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.� This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP).� No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored.�� As the determination not to compete this proposed contract is solely within the discretion of the Government, the Government has determined under the circumstances and the responses received from a sources sought notice, it is in the best interest of the Government not to conduct competitive procurement. ��Inquiries should be e-mailed to huron.virden@usda.gov no later than 08/07/2020, 3:00p.m. cob. �Contracting Office Address: USDA-ARS-SEA P.O.
