Notice of Intent (SHOP-PR-26-001555)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, fixed price contract with TPS LLC for a 40 cubic foot Tenney Environmental Test Chamber and TPS Model WIT 112 Chamber. TPS LLC is identified as the sole manufacturer of these devices and does not authorize other vendors to resell. The justification for sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 is based on TPS being the only responsible source; the Ballistic Research Facility has utilized identical equipment from TPS in various sizes for decades, and staff familiarity with the operating system and precise controls provides continuity to testing operations. The North American Classification System Code is 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing).
Interested parties must submit responses identifying their interests and capability to Holly Cloud (HCLOUD@fbi.gov) by May 29th at 11:00 am CST via email only. The Government will use submitted information solely to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement, with the final decision to compete at Government discretion. All vendors must be registered in SAM effective June 3, 2021, with active, current, and accurate information including TIN, EFT, UIED, DUNS, CAGE Code, addresses, and contact information at the time of response, or quotations will not be included in the competitive range. The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be used for payment processing. This notice will be distributed solely through Sam.gov.
