REFTEK Equipment (Master BPA)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) has a regular, recurring need to purchase REFTEK equipment. To support these needs, the Government intends to award a Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a five year ordering period to REFTEK Systems, Inc. (Cage L0N19), on a sole source basis.  REFTEK products are critical to research being conducted at the ERDC.  This agreement is intended to allow streamlined purchase of REFTEK equipment to minimize any impacts to research and demonstration events. There are 35 authorized resellers for REFTEK Systems, Inc.; however, REFTEK Systems Inc. is the only approved reseller for the United States and Canada. REFTEK Systems, Inc. provides data acquisition systems that are unique in their ruggedness and in compatibility with our Automated Detection and Alert Processing Terminal (ADAPT) software and user interface.  These acquisition systems are compatible with the current SIAM Arrays and other sensor systems already owned by ERDC, meaning there are no issues between current and legacy systems. 

The award will be issued in accordance with FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i). The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code is 334519 (Other Measuring And Controlling Device Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees.
