About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) has issued a Special Notice to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with The Lee Co located in Westbrook, CT for the procurement of valve block manifolds to be delivered to Seattle, WA. The sole source determination is based on NOAA's requirement that The Lee Co is the only manufacturer and provider of the required valve block manifolds, which are custom-manufactured components compatible with NOAA's existing Moored Autonomous pCO2 (MAPCO2) system.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to notify interested parties that NOAA intends to procure the valve block manifolds from The Lee Co on a sole source basis. The agency is providing 15 days for any firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements to submit substantiating documentation, which will be evaluated solely to determine if a competitive procurement should be conducted. However, the decision to proceed with a competitive procurement is solely at the discretion of the government. The delivery timeline for the valve block manifolds is 7 weeks ARO or as soon as possible.
Notice text
***THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION’S (NOAA) OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (OAR) PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY (PMEL) INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH THE LEE CO LOCATED IN WESTBROOK, CT FOR VALVE BLOCK MANIFOLDS TO BE DELIVERED TO SEATTLE, WA.
***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA’S REQUIREMENT THAT THE LEE CO IS THE ONLY MANUFACTURER AND PROVIDER OF THE REQUIRED VALVE BLOCK MANIFOLDS. THE MOORED AUTONOMOUS pCO2 (MAPCO2) SYSTEM IS A SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING REQUIRED OCEAN CABRON MEASUREMENTS. THE REQUIRED VALVE BLOCK MANIFOLDS ARE CUSTOM MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING MAPCO2 SYSTEM TO SUPPORT THE PROPER OPERATION OF REMOTE SENSORS IN THE OCEAN ENVIRONMENT AND ARE REQUIRED TO BE FORM, FIT, AND FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL TO THE EXISTING VALVE BLOCKS MANIFOLDS IN THE MAPCO2 SYTEM. THESE VALVE BLOCK MANIFOLDS ARE MANUFACTURED WITH A DESIGN THAT IS PROPRIETARY TO THE LEE CO AND ARE EXACT REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE VALVE BLOCK MANIFOLDS IN THE MAPCO2 SYSTEMS AS NEEDED TO KEEP THE OVERALL SENSOR SUITE FULLY OPERATIONAL IN A CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE MANNER. USING ANY OTHER BRAND OF PRODUCTS WITHIN THE EXISTING EQUIPMENT WOULD REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN REDESIGNING, DEVELOPING AND TESTING TO ENSURE PROPER COMPATIBILITY.
DELIVERY BY: 7 WEEKS ARO OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
***THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
