72--Reconfiguring and Additions to Mobile Shelving Systems

The United States Property and Fiscal Office of Wisconsin, Camp Douglas, WI intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisitions Procedures to storage Systems Midwest, Inc. The requirement is to reconfigure existing Spacesaver shelving and add to the existing shelving with new units of Spacesaver shelving for eight Field Maintenance Shops in order to properly and safely store the updated Standard Automotive Tool Sets (SATS). Spacesaver mobile storage unit rails are proprietary and no other manufacturer can supply carriages whose wheels will fit into Spacesaver rails. To add another companies products to the current Spacesaver carriages would result in modifications to the original products and voiding the warranty. To award to another manufacturer would cause the Government to have to purchase new shelving to replace the existing shelving that is still in good working condition. To award to any other vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. In the absence of qualified sources, a contract will be awarded under the Other than Full and Open Competition procedures, pursuant to FAR Part 13.106-1(b), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Telephonic inquiries will not be accepted. This is not a request for competitive proposals. The decision not to compete this requirement is within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. All qualified sources must respond in writing no later than 1:00 PM, August 25, 2014. Offers must be submitted by email with confirmation of receipt.
