The Massachusetts Air National Guard Contracting Office intends to
award on a sole source basis under authority of FAR 13.501 to
Remotec Incorporated, 353 J.D. Yarnell Pkwy, Clinton, TN for the
following: 1 ea Power Hawk Assembly, P/N E2455-7500-2. This
assembly is designed specifically for use with the Remotec Andros
F6 robot already owned by the Massachusetts Air National Guard. The
basis for restricting competition is that Remotec Inc. is currently the
sole manufacturer of this assembly. The Air Force Civil Engineering
Support Agency (AFCESA) requires the use of the Remotec
Andros F6 robot and the Power Hawk Assembly. No other
commercially available attachments offer the same capabilities as
the Power Hawk Assembly which is also compatible with the
Remotec Andros F6 robot. This sole source requirement will be
procured under FAR Part 12 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and
FAR Subpart 6.3 Other Than Full and Open Competition. It will be
awarded on an Unrestricted basis. The Justification and Approval
(J&A) citing the authority of FAR 6.302-1, will be uploaded shortly
for public inspection. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR
COMPETITIVE OFFERS and a solicitation will not be issued;
however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may
give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 15 days
from the date of the publication of this synopsis. Supporting
evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the
ability to comply with the requirements listed. Responses received
will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not
to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to
this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. If no
responses are received, the Government will proceed with the sole
source to the manufacturer Remotec Inc. Responses are due by 10
May 2010, 4:00 p.m. (EDT). Responses shall be submitted via email
to the following address: [email protected] or
faxed responses will be accepted at (413)572-1521. Telephone
requests or inquires will not be accepted. The point of contact is
