12 Month Bridge Contract for Print-O-Tape for Thermal Flight Terminal Strips

In accordance with the FAA Acquisition Management System paragraph 3.2.2.4, the purpose of this announcement is to inform the industry of the basis of the FAA's decision to contract with a selected source via single source procedures. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award a single source 12 month, bridge contract, with an optional buy, to Print-O-Tape, Mundelein, Illinois, to provide Thermal Flight Terminal Strips, NSN: 7530-01-453-5094. The estimated value for this bridge contract is $914,012.00. The FAA contract with Print-O-Tape (Contract # DTFAAC-12-D-00017) for thermal flight terminal strips in accordance with standard FAAD-F-1369-3, was for a base year with 4 option years. The first option was not exercised due to an administrative error. The rationale for the single source bridge contract is based on the conclusion that Print-O-Tape is the only vendor that could provide the thermal flight terminal strips in the timeframe necessary for the FAA to meet mission requirements. Due to time restraints, the FAA determined that it is not feasible to competitively award a contract at this time. The follow on contract will be competitive. This announcement is for informational purposes only, not a Solicitation/Request for Proposal. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement.
