Synopsis for Solicitation number N4008522RC03CEY (Nalco 3D Trasar Controllers) The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk, Contracting Department, Norfolk, VA 23511-3392 intends to award a firm fixed-price contract for NAVFAC MIDLANT, which requires an annual Monitoring Subscription for 3D Trasar Solids Equipment including: 3D Trasar Controller w/ Dual Dispenser, Oxi-Slugger, and Non-Ox Feeder at 24 buildings located on PWD GREAT LAKES 2427 SPALDING ST. BLDG 1517, GREAT LAKES, IL 60088-3145. The 3D Trasar Controller with Dual Dispenser, Oxi-Slugger, and Non-Ox Feeders are used for cooling water at 24 sites under NAVFAC Midlant Great Lakes' jurisdiction. Their technology delivers online, real-time monitoring and control and communication of results to system users. It combines chemistry software and automation to achieve these operational improvements. Because the chemicals being used are Nalco chemicals and because the 3D Trasar Dispensers are designed specifically for use with Nalco chemicals, no other 3D Trasar Dispenser is available without incurring dramatic costs to remove the Nalco monitoring system and replace it with another. Therefore, no other entity besides Nalco can be responsive. Therefore, NAVSUP FLC Norfolk finds that the necessity to use Nalco equipment precludes competition for this contract and intends to make a sole source award. Any potential contractor capable of demonstrating that it can supply substitute dispensers that can perform the required functions of the Nalco dispensers mentioned above to the required standards and that wishes to make a competitive bid for the contract should submit a capability statement in beta.SAM.gov prior to the closing of this solicitation. Through its submission, the vendor acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to the award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation, except for award to foreign vendors for work performed outside the United States. Lack of registration in the SAM database will make a vendor ineligible for award. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 561990 - Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The Product and/or Service Code is H168. The Size Standard is $14.5 Million in revenue. The solicitation shall close September 21, 2022 at 1100 Eastern time.
