THIS IS A Sources Sought Notice ONLY. The U.S. Government currently intends to award a
contract to upgrade the MINICAMS System (MINIATURE CONTINUOUS AIR
MONITORING SYSTEM) for the Chemical Defense Training Facility. This will be awarded on
a sole source basis, but the Government is seeking vendors that may be able to perform this
requirement in order to support a competitive procurement. Accordingly, the U.S. Government
highly encourages all interested businesses (large and small) to respond to this sources sought
synopsis. In addition, small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a)
Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized
Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns),
must describe their identifying capabilities in meeting the requirements at a fair market price, i.e.,
information which may help support a set-aside.
The statutory authority for the sole source procurement is 10 United States Code 2304(c)(1) as
implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), Only One Responsible Source
and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
