SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE Description of Intent This notice is to gauge the availability of vendors that are capable and interested in meeting the Government’s requirement for Repair Maintenance Actions (RMA) depot level services on all FLIR Systems robots which currently consist of PackBot, SUGV, Kobra (including Common Robotic System – Heavy (CRS-H variant)), First Look, and Medium Transportable Robotic System Increment II (MTRS Inc. II). In addition, the RMA service requirement also includes the main components of each aforementioned robotic system. The Robot Logistics Support Center (RLSC) technicians repair these robots and the majority of the parts, however, due to some embedded electronics, software, required specialized repair equipment and particular customer circumstances, there are periodic robots and parts that the RLSC technicians cannot repair in-house and therefore will require RMA services. General Information: Robot Logistics Support Center is issuing a Sources Sought Notice as means of conducting market research only to identify parties having interest and resources to support this requirement. The information gained will be used for preliminary planning and to determine the availability of qualified contractors to see if any other means of procuring the Government's requirement for depot level repair services on the above FLIR robots and associated parts is available. The information received will be used by the Government to facilitate the decision-making process and will not be disclosed outside of the agency. Information received from respondents will aid in the decision of whether to issue a solicitation as a competitive set-aside for qualified Small Businesses, Vendors with GSA Schedules or whether to issue the requirement as unrestricted full and open competition. The Government assumes no financial responsibility for costs incurred with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requests. This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose other than market research. Respondents will not be notified of the results regarding the sources sought notice. This notice is to determine if there are any other sources outside of FLIR Systems, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), which can complete the depot level repair of robots and parts. Any subsequent contract would be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) with technician labor categories utilizing nominal components to perform the depot level repair on the robot or part. The period of performance will be approximately three years from the date of award.
