Solicitation Number: FA8601-24-Q-0173 Notice Type: Special Notice Synopsis: The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBB, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344 publishes this notice of intent to award a sole source contract for informational purposes only. The 342 TRS has a requirement for one (1) Joint Combined Aircrew System Tester (JCAST). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334515 – Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. Business size standard: 750 employees The proposed source is CHEMRING ENERGETIC DEVICES INC. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract regardless of responses that may be received 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. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by 1:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time, 20 September 2024. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: This procurement will be awarded on a sole source basis to CHEMRING ENERGETIC DEVICES INC, which is a large business. Market Research was conducted and it was determined that no other sources can provide one (1) Joint Combined Aircrew System Tester (JCAST) that can meet the requirements of the 342 TRS. This acquisition will not be a small business set aside since two or more small businesses cannot provide this requirement. The Department of Defense (DOD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DOD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DOD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM by telephone at 866-606-8220 or online at https://www.sam.gov. The contact for this acquisition is SrA Ata Mokari and can be reached at 937-522-4564.
