INTRODUCTION The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District, 100 Penn Square East, Wanamaker Building, Philadelphia, PA 19107-3390 is the issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources having an interest and industry technologies available to provide the replacement in-kind of a Doosan DBC 130L-II Horizontal Boring Mill with a Fanuc 31i-B Controller (15” screen size) and all associated manuals (DVD or CD format.) The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement, if a requirement materializes. Based on the responses to this sources sought notice/market research, this requirement may be set-aside for small businesses (in full or in part) or procured through full and open competition. Multiple awards may be made. All small business set-aside categories will be considered. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided to companies regarding submissions. DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) TO BE SUBMITTED. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. PROGRAM BACKGROUND The previous HBM was damaged in a flood approximately 1 year ago and an in kind replacement is necessary to provide direct fitment on the foundation and in the physical location to allow for necessary access and egress. The government will not accept any other brand or model different than the Doosan DBC 130L-II Horizontal Boring Mill. Any dimensions different than those previously outlined will prevent proper access to the machine for use and maintenance. The government has on hand, over $100,000.00 in spare parts and tools to use with this specific machine that is not interchangeable with any other machine. Lastly, all personnel working in the shop are qualified and experienced with this work. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES The Government requires the delivery and installation of a Doosan DBC 130L-II Horizontal Boring Mill. The required period of performance for delivery and installation is within120 days of award of the order. The intent of this Sources Sought is to assess the capability of a contractor to provide, deliver, and install the Doosan DBC 130L-II horizontal boring mill. No deviations to brand, model and specifications will be accepted, as established here in.
