ISSUE DATE 08 APR 2020 – CLOSING DATE 15 APR 2020 – 4:00 PM Eastern Time

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for X-Prep Vision 100 substrate measurement system, Visible Light Spectrometer and 3D training for X-Prep System.

SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Allied High Tech Products, Inc. 2376 E Pacifica PL, Compton, CA 90220, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1. This is being sole sourced because Allied High Tech Products designed and built the Vision System to work on their devices as an additional upgrade to their tool.  It is an add on to Allied High Tech’s existing X-Prep System that is currently owned by NSWC Crane.  If the Government would purchase from another vendor, the Government would have to replace all Allied equipment already in place costing time and money. 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.
