Notice of Intent to Award a Sole-Source Contract to Xtreme Engineering Solutions Inc. (X-ES) for Chassis
1. This notice is being published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 5.101 requiring dissemination of information for proposed contract actions. This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract; it is not a request for competitive proposals. The 521 Software Squadron (521SWES), supporting F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), intends to solicit and negotiate a firm-fixed-price contract exclusively with Xtreme Engineering Solutions Inc. (X-ES).
2. The Government requires the following items:
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code: 334111
Product Service Code (PSC) / Federal Supply Classification (FSC): 5998
PN: 90072665-2
Description: XPand1203, Chassis, 3U, VPX, Dev Platform for Cond. cooled Modules, Pass through Backplane, w/RT3
PN: 90075300-4
Description: XPand1007, Chassis, 3U, VPX, 2 slot Cond. Cooled, Pass Through Backplane, RT3, XPm1520
3. The statutory authority permitting this action is FAR 13.106-1(B) (1) "Soliciting from a single source. (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. (i) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).”
X-ES is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the required chassis. X-ES does not have authorized resellers. The Government does not possess the technical data package or intellectual property rights required to have this item manufactured by any other source. A new source would require significant time and investment to reverse-engineer, test, and receive source approval, which would result in unacceptable delays to the program.
