Description
This amendment to the Sole Source Intent is being issued to post the redacted Justication and Approval (J&A). ________________________________________________________________________________ Sole Source: The United States Army Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC), U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), Yuma, Arizona, intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis with Synergent Technologies, Inc., 5301 Buckeystown Pike Ste. 306, Frederick, MD 21704-8373. This contract will consist of the following seven (7) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs): CLIN 0001, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: CV1 Dual Band Frequency Converter: 500MH; CLIN 0002, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: CV6 Frequency Converter: 45000MHz-5300MHz; CLIN 0003, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: CV7 Frequency Converter: 5300MHz-6100MHz; CLIN 0004, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: CB1 Frequency Converter: 30MHz-500MHz; CLIN 0005, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: CB2 Frequency Combiner: 500MHz-2100MHz; CLIN 0006, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: CB3 Frequency Combiner: 100MHz-4100MHz and; CLIN 0007, Quantity: 1, Unit of Issue: Each, Description: RD1 Reference Distribution: 10MHZ Reference Distribution Delivery shall be made to United States Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), AZ 85365-9498. These radio frequency (RF) units will be kept as spares in the EME community inventory maintained at USAYPG. They are common to multiple EME systems located at USAYPG and China Lake, all engineered by Synergent Technologies. Each site utilizes a vast number of these units. To maintain the current instrumentation certification of these EME systems for operational test, replacement hardware is required to have the same measured capabilities as the original equipment. This ensures that RF signals broadcast using this equipment remain the same over time and at each of the three locations here at USAYPG. There are currently no other units on the market that have the same measured capabilities. The last verification and validation event cost approximately $600K for planning, execution, and post analysis; and required the coordinated efforts of personnel from USAYPG, OTC, AEC, and NSWC CRANE. Having these back-ups/spares minimizes cost and schedule increases in the event of a device malfunction. The CV1/CV6/CV7 Frequency Converters, CB1/CB2/CB3 Frequency Combiners and RD1 Reference Distribution are Synergent products that contain proprietary intellectual property. They are only sold directly, not through distributors or third parties. The North American Classification Systems code 334515 with a size standard of 500 employees will be utilized for this requirement. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. In order to protect proprietary information and prevent the unintentional releasing of guarded information all interested firms must conduct their own research regarding the specifications of the above listed requirement. Responses other than the above source may identify their interest and capabilities to perform the requirement by submitting a proposal via email or facsimile with complete mailing address, point of contact, phone number, facsimile number, business size and shall be clearly marked with W9124R-13-T-0141. Please forward your information no later than 10:00AM Mountain Standard Time (MST) on 20 August 2013 to facsimile (928)328-6849.
