The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a dynamic chemical analysis (DMA) system. The compliant product is available solely from TA Instruments, as the required materials are only available through Hopewell Designs. The NAICS code is 334516 and the business size is 1000 employees. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to TA Instuments. The proposed action is for DMA parts and installation, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: TA Instruments is the only source of the required equipment, with no compatible item on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to TA Instruments using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59PM 9 August 2021. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:59PM on 08/10/2021 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice 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. Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.bonaiuto@navy.mil and Barbaraann Witz and barbaraann.witz@navy.mil.
