This is a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE Delivery Order against a General Service Administration Contract using Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR Part 8. The Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground, Installation Contracting Division, 4118 Susquehanna Avenue, Aberdeen, Maryland 21005 has a requirement to procure the following items:

CLIN 0001 Megitt Endevco Piezoresistive Accelerometer 7270-20K, 67 each

CLIN 0002 Megitt Endevco Piezoresistive Accelerometer 7270-6K, 41 each

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price sole source GSA delivery order, to Meggitt (San Juan Capistrano), Inc. 30700 Rancho Viejo Road, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675. Meggitt offers these accelerometers with certain damping ratios and resonant frequencies that are not offered by other companies. Purchase of an invalidated alternate accelerometer is beyond the scope of this requirement and would compromise post test analysis by introducing another variable into testing. Meggitt has the proprietary and sole design of the Endevco 7270A-20K and 7270A-6K accelerometers.

All responses received within 10 days after date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government, posted August 10, 2011. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed delivery order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, August 22, 2011. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. For question concerning this Notice of Intent, contact Susan Sowa, [email protected]. No telephone requests will be honored.
