MNS Expansion

Added: Sep 22, 2017 1:22 pm  

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared IAW the format in FAR subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotes are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

 

THIS SOLICITATION WILL NOT RESULT IN AN ORDER AGAINST AN FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULE.  ANY OFFER WHICH IS PREDICATED UPON THE AWARD BEING PLACED AGAINST AN FSS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE REQUIREMENT TO FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION.

This combined/synopsis soliciatation is related to a sole source requirement (Federal Signal Corporation) to provide all necessary Mass Notification System (MNS) equipment, materials, and labor to deliver, install, and optimize for six indoor buildings and one outdoor location on Robins Air Force Base (AFB), Georgia. Expansion locations are buildings 2026, 2030, 2350, 909, 255, 321, and one new siren and pole at Robins AFB Fam Camp.  Period of Performance of 1 Year.

Contractor/Vendor: Federal Signal Corporation

Justification for Sole Source: Federal Signal's notification system uses proprietary software and signaling methods, and integration of another manufacturer's equipment may not be compatible with the existing  equipment. Selecting a different vendor would require the additional purchase of expensive  interface equipment and replacement of current "Head-in" assemblies. The additional cost  would consist of replacing the current "Remote Transmitting Units (RTU)" assemblies and  interface equipment. Each MNS vendor has proprietary control software that does not interface with other vendors RTU.  Accordingly, Federal Signal is the only firm capable of providing the services described above without the U.S. Air Force experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition. Also, it would also significantly complicate  servicing and future expansion by introducing different vendor equipment as part of a unified system.

This acquisition provides maintenance support which will also coincide with the procurement of follow-on contracts for the continued expansion of the MNS.

Price(s) should be FOB Destination (Robins AFB GA 31098). In addition to price and delivery, quote should include your cage code, DUNS number, and taxpayer ID number. Requested delivery date is 30 days ARO or earlier.

 

Quotations should be emailed to Ron Hilliard at ronald.hillard.2@us.af.mil no later than 25 Sep 2017, 12:00 pm EST.
