INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344

This is a combined Sole Source Synopsis/Solicitation published for informational purposes only.  This proposed action is for the acquisition of a Hurco 3-Axis CNC Virtical Milling Machine.  It was determined that Hurco Companies Inc. is a large business that is capable of meeting the Government’s specifications in the attached Statement of Work and Reynolds Machinery Inc. is the authorized supplier in the region. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), resulting in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.

The proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code 333517.  Size Standard is 500 employees.  The proposed source, Reynolds Machinery Inc., 760 Liberty Ln, Dayton, Ohio, 45449-2135 is the only authorized distributor of Hurco products in the region.  This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations.  However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. 

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:  Hurco Companies Inc. is the only known business capable of meeting the Government’s requirements and Reynolds Machinery Inc. is the authorized distributor in the region.  Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to award to Reynolds Machinery Inc.  Please see Attachment 2, Sole Source Justification, for more complete details. 

Important Notice to Contractors:  All prospective awardees are required to register at the System for Award Management (SAM) and to maintain active registration during the life of the contract.  SAM can be accessed at https://www.sam.gov.
