This action is authorized by and in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. FTS is the manufacturer of the original equipment and is the only authorized source to provide replacement parts. The Government believes that the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency's requirement is FTS. A Limited Source Justification has been prepared in support of this acquisition and is attached. The full list of required parts/pieces is also attached. The estimated value of this acquisition is less than $311,000.00. No Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be issued and no response will be made to letters or telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation. This is not a request for competitive quotes, but serves as a procurement notice to fulfill public posting requirements in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The requirement is unrestricted and the NAICS code 334513 applies. Responsible firms believing they can provide the required items are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer referencing action item 140L3722Q0004. However, they must provide convincing evidence that they can furnish the requested items at a cost that will not exceed the total estimated transaction cost. All responses will be fully considered. If no affirmative responses are received by 1/6/2022 at 1700 Eastern Time to the effect that a comparable source exists, an order will be placed with FTS for the requirement stated here.
