Cover Letter.pdf

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a 3D printer repair and maintenance. The compliant product is available solely from 3D Systems, Inc., as the required services are only available through 3D Systems. The NAICS code is

811219 and the business size is $22 million.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to 3D Systems. The proposed action is for 3D printer repair and maintenance, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: 3D Systems is the only source of the required services, with no compatible item on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to 3D Systems, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00PM 21 September 2021. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00PM NOON on 09/21/2021 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the

Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
