NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A LIMITED-SOURCE ORDER UNDER GSA CONTRACT
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS

This is a notice of intent to award a limited sources GSA order under the statutory authority of 41 USC 152(3), Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). As set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. In addition, and in accordance with, the exception provided for at FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) also serves as justification for this limited sources action.

The Government has conducted market research to purchase highly specialized SIMULIA Abaqus software license renewal tokens. This limited-source GSA order will allow AFNWC to continue to operate highly specialized engineering software, previously purchased from immixTechnology, Inc., also the sole distributor of the renewal tokens. The above represents the only scope that will be procured under this order. This limited-source action will result in a firm fixed price (FFP) GSA order, with an estimated contract value of $27,000. The sole purpose of this contract is to ensure uninterrupted testing in support of critical mission requirements.

While this notice of intent is for informational purposes only, and is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties (to include small and small disadvantaged businesses) may identify their interest and technical capability, and submit information which will be considered by the agency. The applicable NAICS code is 423430 with a corresponding size standard of 250 employees. The Product Service Code is 7030.

ImmixTechnology, Inc. is the only contractor that can provide this specialized support, given the unique and highly skilled nature of the effort. There are no other contractors at this time who are capable of providing these unique items.
