NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE-SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER

Army Contracting Command APG, Tobyhanna Division intends to award a sole source service for water quality monitoring panels located throughout Tobyhanna Army Depot water supply system to Hach Company, 5600 Lindbergh Drive, Loveland, Colorado, 80538-8842, United States. Justification for this sole source procurement is in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) soliciting from a single source.

This notice is for information only; solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541380 with a small business size standard of $19,000,000 in average annual revenue.

The contract is for maintenance on two water quality monitoring panels (WQMP), one pocket colorimeter, one pH meter and one benchtop DR3900 instrument.

The contractor will furnish all labor, tools, materials, equipment, sample containers, reporting forms, transportation, and supervision necessary for performing all provisions of this contract in accordance with current local, state, and federal regulations.

Market research to date has determined these analyzers were purchased and maintained by the Hach Company. Because of the many different parameters and types of analyzers, the vendor stated they do not recognize or authorize any other service organization to perform repair or recalibrations on these analyzers. To do so would invalidate any warranties.

This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to kaila.e.black.civ@army.mil. Responses must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements.
