HAZARD-DETECTING INSTRUMENTS AND APPARATUS

The Army Contracting Command - Warren, under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Civil Program Financing Only, intends to award a sole-source, five-year firm-fixed-price indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract to ANP Technologies, Inc. This procurement, identified under solicitation number W56HZV14R0094, is for hand-held assays (NSN: 6665-01-568-0616), which serve as spare parts for the Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Water Monitor (JCBRWM) system. The contract includes a minimum five-year quantity of 21 units and a maximum quantity of 525 units.

The government is pursuing a sole-source award under the authority of 10 USC 2304(b)(2) because a detailed technical data package is not available for competitive procurement. This requirement is classified under NAICS 621511 for Medical Laboratories and PSC code 66 for instruments and laboratory equipment. Market research indicates that the government will not use FAR Part 12 policies for the acquisition of commercial items for these supplies.

Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by February 24, 2014. While the government intends to negotiate with only one source, it will consider all proposals or capability statements received within 45 days of the January 8, 2014, publication date to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. Interested parties may also submit evidence of their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice. Contractual points of contact include Contract Specialist Remus Farca and Contracting Officer Miranda Smith.
