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), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The 628th Contracting Squadron, 101 E. Hill Blvd., Joint Base Charleston, intends to award a sole source contract for the installation of portable gate boxes and associated training at Joint Base Charleston, SC - Air Base & Weapons Station. The 628th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award MCM Engineering, Inc., 845 Hinckley RD Burlingame, California 94010-1502, United States. In accordance with (IAW) FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), the proposed contract action is for a product for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(b)(ii). This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals; however, responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation that shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: In accordance with FAR 6.303-2: Agency and Activity:� 628 Contracting Squadron, Joint Base Charleston, SC. �Nature of action for approval:� Sole source acquisition. This procurement is for the MCM portable gate boxes for 437 MXS at Joint Base Charleston SC - Air Base & Weapons Station. Justification Rationale: IAW FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), one source is capable of fulfilling this requirement due to the proprietary nature of the system equipment and associated parts. Demonstration of Unique Qualifications: MCM Engineering, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the required portable gate boxes for 437 AMX. When previously acquired from alternative sources (FA441820P0045), the gate boxes were not compatible with the current equipment used. These systems, associated technology, and software are proprietary to MCM Engineering, Inc. Therefore, MCM Engineering, Inc. is the only business capable of fulfilling this requirement. Therefore, I recommend the small business set aside be dissolved and the acquisition awarded to MCM Engineering, Inc., a small business. Description of Solicitation Efforts: IAW FAR 5.102(a)(2), this notice will be posted on the Government-wide Point of Entry (beta.SAM.gov) and retained in the contract file to document the rationale for a sole source award. The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable. (8) �Description of market research: Market research was conducted by the Contracting Office and MCM Engineering, Inc. was contacted and queried for other authorized distributors however, none exist. The Government will continue to survey the market for authorized service providers for future requirements. (9) Other supporting facts: N/A (10) Interested Sources: N/A (11) Actions to prevent barriers that may lead to restricted consideration in the future: The Government will continue to surveille the market for any changes or new entries to the market place that may allow for the use of other vendors in future requirements. (12)� This justification is accurate and complete to the best of the Contracting Officer�s knowledge and belief. Address questions to A1C Bayley McKinney, Contract Specialist, at (843) 963-3722, email bayley.mckinney@us.af.mil or SSgt Christopher Weaver, Contracting Officer, (843) 963-3310, email christopher.weaver.14@us.af.mil.
