ISSUE DATE 27 JULY 2018 - CLOSING DATE 02 AUGUST 2018 5:00 PM Eastern Time

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ON UPS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATEMENT OF WORK.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Wagner Equipment Co., Inc. 7222 N Shadeland Ave Indianapolis, IN 46250-2062 USA under the authority of of FAR 13.106(b). This is being sole sourced because Schneider Electric is the OEM of the UPS equipment and the equipment requires maintenance in order to prevent loss of power. Wagner Equipment is the only authorized servicing facility for Schneider; therefore not allowing another reseller to be possible. This maintenance is essential because to ensure UPS is working at full capacity at all times, service must be provided within 24 hours and must be able to respond to a service call within 3-4 hours. Since Schneider will not share their proprietary expertise with anyone else, this is the only way to perform the annual maintenance. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

This solicitation is being issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR 13. Synopsis exception FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies and Solicitation Number N00164-18-Q-0271; is hereby issued as an attachment hereto. All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted via FedBizOpps. It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor the FedBizOpps site for amendments that may be issued to this solicitation. For changes made after the closing date, only those offerors that provide a proposal will be provided any changes/amendments and considered for future discussions and/or award. Offers may be faxed e-mailed to matthew.swarztentruber@navy.mil. All required information must be received on or before 02 AUGUST 5:00 EASTERN TIME.
