The Government intends to enter into a five (5) year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed price contract. The delivery shall be FOB Destination, 431 Battlefield Memorial Highway, Richmond, Kentucky 40475. It is anticipated that inspection and acceptance will be at origin. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source; Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company (640 Hopmeadow St., Simsbury, CT, 06070-2420), under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The basis for restricting competition is duplicate cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through another source. Any new device shall require qualification testing that would take a minimum of (3) years and would cause detrimental delays in the production of the detonators and duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The duplicative costs and delay arise from developmental testing, safety testing, insensitive munitions testing and board approval, hazard classification testing and board approval, fuze testing and board approval, post-test reporting, joint safety board approvals, user evaluations, item manual updates, and user training. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency.
