The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk Contracting Department, Fleet Directorate intends to solicit on a sole source basis – on behalf of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) – to ARMAG Corp for the refurbishment of Ready Service Magazines (RSM). The proposed acquisition is for the refurbishment of two (2) RSM’s and includes replacing the HD HV/AC units, repairing or replacing doors and door components, and repainting the exterior of the magazines. Additionally, the contractor shall conduct a comprehensive physical inspection upon receipt of the magazines to identify any further structural, mechanical, or electrical repairs required to return the units to optimal service. The resultant purchase order will be issued on a firm-fixed-price (FFP) basis and contains the following period of performance:
On or before 24 weeks of contract award
The sole source justification is as follows:
As the OEM, ARMAG's original manufacturing and repair processes are designed and certified to meet this complex matrix of requirements. They possess the proprietary engineering data, material specifications, and fabrication techniques necessary to guarantee that the refurbished units will meet these exacting standards. A non-OEM vendor would not have access to this proprietary data and would have to attempt to reverse-engineer the units. There is no evidence that any other firm has the proven capability to refurbish these specific magazines and certify compliance across all the listed DoD and UL standards.
