This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov/ and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at http://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the NSWC Division Crane. This requirement is for a 3-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for Teradyne Spectrum 9100 Series Test Systems and associate spares and training, with a minimum/maximum dollar amount of $1.5M/$4.72M. Inspection/acceptance points and delivery information/dates will be specified at the delivery order level. The solicitation is available at the following address: http://www.crane.navy.mil/acquisition/homepage.htm. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate this contract on a sole-source basis to Teradyne, 600 Riverpark Dr., North Reading, MD 01864-2634. The basis for restricting competition is that Teradyne, being the Original Equipment Manufacturer, is the only known source for each of the items that can satisfy the Government’s requirements, and it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted to Crane web site, FedBizOpps and NECO. It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor the Crane web site, FedBizOpps and/or NECO. Interested parties may submit inquiries or request for information by sending a fax to Diane Rhein, FAX 812-854-3465 or send a request via e-mail (e-mail preferred) to [email protected]. Numbered Note 22 applies.
