The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk, Contracting Department, Regional Directorate intends to solicit Shell Packaging Corporation (dba Flexcon Containers) on an other than full and open competitive basis using FAR Part 13 procedures for the procurement of one hundred and twenty-six (126) Flexcon four-inch-high dividers and one hundred and twenty-seven (127) Flexcon six-inch-high dividers. These dividers are being procured to complete the configuration of the new V and H Kardex Remstar Vertical Storage Units (VSUs) previously purchased by the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Nuclear Reactors Material Office (NRMO) for the warehousing and safekeeping of those repair parts, equipment and components for which the office is responsible. The dividers required must be constructed out of a non-metallic material and non-static producing material as many of the components that are stored in the VSUs are susceptible to static discharge. The partitions and dividers cannot add any measurable weight to the VSU inventory trays as inventory tray weight is computer controlled, calculated, managed and deducted from each storage units inventory trays overall inventory capacity. The partitions and dividers must adhere to the same dimension sizing for all 40 cells available. Lastly, given that the VSU is a computer controlled automated moving inventory tray vertical tower storage system, it is imperative that nothing moves on the trays while the system is in motion. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Shell Packaging Corporation (dba Flexcon Containers) on a sole source basis since they are the only known source at this time with the ability to provide a divider that meets the Government’s minimum requirements. A firm fixed price (FFP) contract is anticipated. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.
