Synopsis for Nutritional Environmental Monitoring System: This is a Sole Source Synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of a NEW nutritional environmental monitoring system to monitor temperature, humidity, differential pressure, light and air changes in nutritional medicines kitchen’s refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms and clean rooms for the patient population served by the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). See Attachment 1, Statement of Work (SOW). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), “Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.” The contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available: Rees Scientific Corporation. This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334290: Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. Business size standard for NAICS 334290 is 750 employees. PSC/FSC code: 6685: Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments. The proposed source is Rees Scientific Corporation located at 1007 Whitehead Road Ext Ste. 1, Ewing, NJ 08638-2405. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Government requires a nutritional environmental monitoring system to monitor temperature, humidity, differential pressure, light and air changes in nutritional medicines kitchen’s refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms and clean rooms for the patient population served by the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). The environmental monitoring system must also be ATO certified and compatible with current cooling systems utilized in the MTF for ease of integration and avoidance of unnecessary additional costs. The sole distribution of the equipment that meets these needs is through Rees Scientific Corporation. The proposed sole source is the only known source able to satisfy the Government’s requirements. Please see Attachment 1, Statement of Work (SOW) for more complete details. Delivery Schedule: 8 Weeks ARO Delivery Destination: 4881 Sugar Maple Drive Bldg. 830.
