99--Sole Source Award - Altimeters

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - APG, Natick Contracting Division, intends to award a firm fixed price contract under FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), only one responsible source, to Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc. for 40 Modular Military Altimeters. With the fielding of the new RA-1 parachute system, Military Free Fall parachutists will be exiting aircraft at 30,000-feet above ground level, and an enhanced capacity altimeter is required to support these high altitude parachutist airdrop missions. This Altitrack has a unique analog/digital design that allows for accurate readings of altitude at 40,000 feet. The intent is to purchase test items from this company and one other, whose product has similar capabilities but different display information. Test and evaluation will then be performed to determine which model best suits user requirements. This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ). Any questions and/or inquiries may be submitted either by e-mail to Lisa Mardin at [email protected] or by fax at (508) 422-9673. The closing date of this notice is 22 April 2014.
