R--Fuels Pro propietary data systems license

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) to acquire the "Fuels Pro" Management Application Output File Consolidation Marco data license . The Government believes that the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency requirement is Environmental Restoration Technologies LTD, P.O. Box 4445, Incline Village, NV 89450, who owns the proprietary rights to these Fuels Pro data system items. A justification for other than full and open competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. The estimated value of this simplified acquisition is less than $50,000.00. No Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be issued and no response will be made to letters or telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation. This is not a request for competitive quotes, but serves as a procurement notice to fulfill public posting requirements in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). This requirement is restricted to this Emerging Small Business and the NAICS code 561210, PSC code R408, and SIC code 8744 apply. Responsible firms believing they can provide the required propietary items are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer referencing action item RAQ072103. However, they must provide supporting evidence they can furnish the requested proprietary data license services at a cost that will not exceed the total estimated transaction cost. All responses will be fully considered. If no affirmative responses are received by January 31, 2007, to the effect that a comparable source exists, an order will be placed with Environmental Restoration Technologies LTD, for the requirements stated here. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Patrick Lorton at 208-387-5717 or faxed to 208-387-5574.
