Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Maintenance of Conditioning Chambers

The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) intends to award a sole source to Air Flow Services Inc, 1143 Taft St., Rockville, Md. 20850 for the continuation of repair and maintenance services on conditioning chambers.   Air Flow Services Inc. is the manufacturer and installer of two conditioning chambers F8A and F8B. This is a sole source procurement for a twelve-month service and maintenance contract with options of four additional years that covers all parts and labor associated with the two conditioning chambers. The contractor must be onsite within 3 hours of all service calls. The equipment is permanently installed in the flammability laboratory at 5 Research Place, Rockville, Md. 20850.   

Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements; the government believes Air Flow Services Inc is the sole manufacturer, seller, and authorized service provider of the equipment.  This notice is NOT a request for competitive quotes; however, any firm that believes it can supply the service may give written notice to the Contract Specialist via email at ggrayson@cpsc.gov, by 12 PM EST on May 26, 2022. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE MUST BE FURNISHED IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL, to the above listed email address, Attn: Greg Grayson, Contract Specialist. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS. Responses will be evaluated: however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, CPSC will proceed with negotiating a sole source award to Air Flow Services.
