Added: Dec 06, 2016 1:39 pm

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Warren (ACC-WRN) is preparing to solicit a request for proposal for Pump Rack Module (PRM) National Stock Number (NSN) 4930-01-517-6942 from DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc. (DRS). Technical data and/or drawings pertaining to the DRS PRM model are not available within the Government and are proprietary to DRS. It is believed that this non-availability of technical data precludes the U. S. Army from obtaining competition, as the DRS PRM’s are available from one source only. However, other potential sources can submit information concerning its capability to supply the parts, and the U.S. Army will determine whether a competitive procurement is feasible. The procurement involves pumps and parts being procured from the prime equipment manufacture or its actual supplier, and others proposing to manufacture the parts must complete and current engineering data to demonstrate the acceptability of the offered parts (i.e., salient physical, functional and serviceability characteristics). The submission of technical data package for review shall not impede the award of this requirements type contract, but will qualify the proposer for follow-on acquisitions of the specific part numbers offered. It is the Government belief that only DRS, the manufacture of the parts, or its dealers and distributors can furnish the required parts and ensure proper fit, form and function of all its components. Other concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above items are invited to submit complete information discussing such capabilities in duplicate within 10 days of this announcement (NLT 16 Dec 2016). No cost or pricing data is required. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government does not intend to pay for information solicited. Responses must be concise and specifically directed to the requirement mentioned above. Concerns that respond to this notice must fully demonstrate the capability to accomplish the above and are to supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate a bonafide capability to meet the requirements.
