THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS NOTICE. This is a request for information on capabilities and interest and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP); submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary and the U.S. Government (USG) assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. No funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this effort. Data submitted in response to this market survey will not be returned.

INFORMATION NEEDED:

Interested parties, particularly manufacturers of Coordinate Measuring Machines (NAICS 333517), are encouraged to provide the following information:

Response to the Coordinate Measuring Machine Questionnaire with general information about your firm and its capabilities (Available with the Sources Sought Synopsis).

NOTE:  It is anticipated that any procurement as a result of this notice will be a sole source procurement with Hexagon Metrology the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the software that runs the Gantry CMMs. The proprietary software is used to transfer workload from one PC-DMIS based machine to another. Use of any other manufacturer’s equipment would require the Government to reproduce software programs and/or re-procure specialized accessories at a great expense that is unlikely to be recovered through competition.  Prime Tech Sales, Inc. is the only authorized distributor to sell Global S Green 9.20.8 X1H Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) per WVA Equipment Engineering Specification # 07-23-6625 in upstate New York where Watervliet Arsenal is located.

All proprietary information should be marked as such.

Responses will be reviewed by U.S. Army Contracting Command – Watervliet Arsenal (ACC-WVA), Watervliet Arsenal personnel only and will be held in a confidential manner. Any and all information provided shall include a description of the proposed manufacturing capabilities. Submitted documentation will not be returned.
