Modified bag breaker

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Contracting Office intends to award contract W912HZ-16-P-0147 on a sole source basis to Diversified Storage Systems, Inc., 46 Pioneer Pkwy, Sulphur Springs, TX 75482 for a modified bag breaker. Diversified Storage Systems, Inc. provided a prototype bag breaker in 2015. A modified bag breaker is required to meet shortfalls found in the prototype. Due to the proprietary nature of the bag breaker, Diversified Storage Systems, Inc. is the only vendor that is able to provide the required modifications to the bag breaker. The Government intends to procure from only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This will be a commercial acquisition using simplified acquisition procedures per FAR 13. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. Point of contact: [email protected].
