Description

Notice Type: Notice of Contract Action � Siemens PXC Panel Migration Justification, Statutory Authority: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) � Soliciting Competition; (b)Soliciting from a single source. (1)�For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. (i)�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 (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, and brand-name or industrial mobilization). Contract Award Date: TBD Contract Award Number: TBD � Synopsis: �This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZE), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract to Siemens Industry INC, to migrate Edward AFB's building automation field panels to Siemens' PXC panels. The contract will be executed by means of other than full and open competition, due to migrate existing Siemens panels to the newer PXC panels manufactured by Siemens. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: These new panels are currently proprietary to Siemens Inc. and therefore they are the only vendor with the capability to perform the necessary upgrade and install these new panels. Only Siemens specialists have access to the use of the service tools, technical service bulletins, and system trainings required to ensure the panels are properly installed and upgraded, therefore the purchase is in the best interest of the Government. It is in the best interest of the government to establish a common hardware/firmware/software configuration across the electronic warfare group. Commonality and interoperability allows the AF to achieve higher efficiency by using a shared spare parts pool for logistics support, establishes a joint-service system engineering baseline, and minimize costly validation and verification testing.
