About this opportunity
The 60th Contracting Squadron at Travis Air Force Base has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to Advanced Office Systems, Inc. for the acquisition of two Megamat RS 350 vertical carousels. This procurement is being conducted as a sole source action because Advanced Office Systems, Inc. is the exclusive authorized factory sales and service dealer for all KardexRemstar equipment in Northern California. The Air Force conducted market research and determined that no alternative equipment or software solutions would meet their operational requirements. The contract includes not only the carousel equipment but also installation, electrical services, Kardex Remstar Totes, KeyTec Software, and training services. The procurement value is estimated to be between the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and $750,000, with an expected delivery timeframe of 120 days after contract award.
The primary purpose of this sole source procurement is to address immediate safety concerns related to damaged shelving and ensure compliance with 60th Air Mobility Wing Safety Requirements. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, the government has invited all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations demonstrating their ability to meet the specified requirements by August 4, 2025, at 1200 PST. Contractors must be able to provide the required software licensing and support services to be considered eligible for participation. The justification emphasizes that KardexRemstar only sells products and service parts through factory-authorized dealers, and warranties become void if non-certified dealers provide sales or services. The government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source award regardless of any responses received during this notice period.
Notice text
The 60th Contracting Squadron intends to award a sole source contract to Advanced Office Systems, Inc. for the acquisition of 2 Megamat RS 350 vertical carousels.
Advanced Office Systems, Inc. is the sole and exclusive authorized factory sales and service dealer for all KardexRemstar equipment in the territory of Northern California. As a KardexRemstar dealer, Advanced Office Systems, Inc. is required to participate in company sponsored certification training programs for all sales and service personnel. This requirement not only assures our customers of continued quality service but also supports our commitment to all our products, irrespective of any changes due to the introduction of enhancements and improvements. To further support this initiative, KardexRemstar has elected to sell our products and service parts only through KardexRemstar factory authorized dealers. Please note, KardexRemstar does not assume any liability for equipment failure or personal injury if service is performed by any organization or individual who is not factory authorized, trained and/or does not use new Kardex Remstar factory replacement parts. Furthermore, all warranties will be null and void if factory sales or services are provided by noncertified Kardex Remstar authorized service and sales resellers.
The 60th Contracting Sqadron conducted market reasearch and confirmed that Advanced Office Systems, Inc. is the sole and exexclusive distributor of KardexRemstar equipement. We also considered the posibility of using a different type of equipement/software but determined that there were no alternate software solutions that would meet the need.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
Interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements described above are invited to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation demonstrating their ability to provide the required software license and support. Responses must be received no later than 4 August 2025 1200 PST and should be submitted electronically to the POCs listed below. All responses received will be reviewed; however, a determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely at the discretion of the Government.
