SOLE SOURCE NOTICE: The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This sole source is intended to be awarded to Chesapeake Acoustic Solutions (CAS). Interested concerns may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination not to compete this procurement, based upon any responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Sole source is based upon the expansion of previous work done by CAS in 2008 and 2012, CAS as the sole supplier of Benson Audiometers in Maryland, and the compelling need due to increased operational tempo. Sole source is also based upon the authority FAR 6.302-1(2)( C )(ii) which allows for sole source purchase if it is considered a follow-on contract for the continued development of a system when the award would result in duplication of cost. The proposed procurement is for six (6) additional Benson expansion audiometers and Bioacoustic Simulators which may include HVAC and lighting. Any responses/proposals to this notice must be received no later than close of business, 5:00 P.M., 7 Mar 2016, Eastern Time.
