W25G1V-17-R-0004

This is published as sole source announcement under the statutory authority at 10 USC2304(c) (1), and regulatory authority at FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground-Tobyhanna Division, Tobyhanna, PA 18466 intends to negotiate and award a contract for the yearly preventive and remedial maintenance of the following items on a sole source basis to Diagnosys Systems, Inc., 5 Lan Drive, First Floor, Hartford MA, 01888;

The requirement is for a service contract to perform all necessary operations in connection with providing two (2) preventative maintenance and calibration service for two (2) Government- Owned Factron S720 Automated Test Systems located at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), Tobyhanna PA, for the base period of one year with four (4) one-year option periods and a possible six-month extension. Requirement also includes: on-site remedial maintenance service on an as-needed basis, estimated to be four (4) visits per year; remote telephone support for technical hardware and software assistance available to government personnel from 8 AM to 4 PM EST, Monday through Friday excluding Federal and TYAD holidays; and repaired/reconditioned replacement parts and components provided as needed for each test system. All deliverables are FOB Destination. The S720 Automated Testers are used for performance of mission requirements, specifically Depot level overhaul and maintenance of communications-electronics equipment and are currently used for testing of the AN/TPS-75 mobile tactical radar system.

The proposed source for this action is Diagnosys Systems, Incorporated (DSI). In the mid-1990s the Factron S720 went out of production and the original manufacturer (OEM), Schlumberger Technologies, Inc. sold their interests to include proprietary data, software code, hardware specifications and other associated assets to DSI. The Government does not possess a competitive technical data package for the required items and services, therefore DSI is believed to be the only source of reconditioned and refurbished system parts and technical expertise for these out of production test systems.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If you feel that your firm possesses the ability to provide this service, you must respond within fifteen (15) days of this notice. Solicitation W25G1V-17-R-0004 will be issued on or about April 13, 2017. The NAICS Code is 811219 and the size standard is $20.5 Million.
