Concurrent Real-Time Hardware Maintenance

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) has issued a sole source special notice for Concurrent Real-Time Hardware Maintenance services. This notice pertains to an annual renewable maintenance contract for specialized hardware equipment used in the I2RSS laboratory. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.501(a)(2)(i), with Concurrent Real-Time identified as the only vendor capable of fulfilling the government's maintenance requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 334111 for Electronic Computer Manufacturing and is posted with a response deadline of June 24, 2025.

The primary objective of this special notice is to announce the government's intent to renew maintenance services for Concurrent hardware systems that require unique maintenance standards to preserve equipment warranties. While this is designated as a sole source procurement, the agency must comply with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii) by allowing all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. Contractors interested in responding have until June 24, 2025, to submit their materials, though the government emphasizes this is not a request for competitive quotes and phone calls will not be accepted. The agency has determined that using alternative vendors could void equipment warranties and that procuring different equipment would cause unacceptable laboratory downtime. The government will not reimburse any costs incurred by parties responding to this notice, and no formal solicitation documents are currently available.
