The item is peculiar to one manufacturer. A brand name item, available on various schedule contracts,is an item peculiar to one manufacturer [FAR 8.405-7(a)(4)(iii)].

Fluke Generator p/n 9460A-STD 115v; Fluke 4 wire short lead p/n 884X-Short; Fluke Low Thermal Test Lead Set p/n 5440A-7002.

The Reference Generator that the client seeks to purchase is being manufactured with an obsolete version of calibration. Fluke was only able to secure enough parts to satisfy this requirement and this will be the last time this version will be available for order.  SAIC attempted to get competition on the parts listed on their request from Fluke. They were only successful with one of the common pieces sold through many distributors. Fluke is the manufacturer of these products and have refused to quote their distributors for the procurement of the Reference Generator (9460A-STD) and Test Lead Set (5440A-7002).

The government has a requirement for custom installation of electrostatic discharge foam for a cabinet system currently in Limited Rate Initial Production where substitution is not allowable.  Advanced Packaging Incorporated is the source for this product.  The requirement is in support of a task order against a basic IDIQ contract awarded after initial competition to SAIC.  The basic contract is priced as a Time and Materials contract.  The value of this materials order is under $6000.00.

SAIC has competed for and won a contract to support RPTI for Aberdeen.  SAIC is providing Stanley Vidmar cabinetry in support of ISO container shelters.  They are retrofitting shelter #7 identical to the other shelters based on an approved engineering design which details the location of the inserts in the floor and wall of the container interior that are specifically located and used as mounting holes for these Vidmar cabinets.  Six out of the seven CALFAC systems are fielded.  Once a system is fielded, the design cannot be changed or altered  without affecting supportability of the CALFAC system as a whole requiring retrofitting of all of the completed systems with the alternate cabinet design.

CLosing time corrected to 2pm CST August 1, 2011 to match ITSS.  ITSS overrides FBO since RFP was solicited and quotes will be received on the ITSS website. 

Rapid Prototyping and Technology Insertion for the US Army.

The Quick Reaction & Battle Command Support Division (QRBCSD) of the Command and Control Directorate (C2D), U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research Development & Engineering Center (CERDEC) supports a variety of tri-service Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems and systems integration programs.  These programs incorporate all aspects of prototype systems integration, including engineering design, fabrication, systems assembly and installation, test and evaluation, logistics, fielding, and follow-on support.  This effort will provide the QRBCSD of the CERDEC C2D with the contractual support required to perform a variety of tri-service C4ISR systems prototyping and prototype systems integration programs.  The individual project requirements and duration of each effort assigned under this effort will include activities required to support a variety of prototyping, integration, testing, and fielding, and C4ISR technology insertion and related projects.

The contractor must submit proposal by the date and time established in the RFP notice posted in GSAs Electronic Ordering System (IT Solutions Shop (ITSS)).   If you are unable to attach your Proposal in GSAs Electronic Ordering System due to some type of technical difficulty, you must report the problem to the PM, Dale Shogren, 405-609-8083, dale.shogren@gsa.gov, in sufficient time prior to closing to allow for the submission of the proposal via an alternative method. 

 NOTE: Vendors MUST BE REGISTERED IN ITSS in order to submit a proposal to this solicitation.  Failure to register properly in GSA's Electronic Ordering System (ITSS) is not an acceptable excuse for the inability to submit a Proposal.  The ITSS website address is <<http://web.itss.gsa.gov/>> the helpdesk number is 877-243-2889 Option 2.

Vendors must contact Dale Shogren at 405-609-8083 or dale.shogren@gsa.gov after registering in ITSS.  This will ensure each vendor has received access to submit its proposal.
