41--Mobile Integrated Remains Collection System

The US Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (Soldier, Chemical, Research & Test), Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA, has a requirement in support of US Army PM-Force Sustainment Systems to procure up to 72 Mobile Integrated Remains Collection Systems (MIRCS) in order to complete the requirements of this program. Guild Associates of Dublin, OH is currently the only manufacturer of these systems and is the only one that can meet the proposed delivery. Given the history of this program, along with Market Research that has been conducted by technical experts, this is the best cost savings for the Government. Having to set-up a First Article Test and a new production line with a new contractor, for such a small quantity, would drastically impede the fielding schedule for deploying troops. These systems are currently being deployed in Theater at this time. This acquisition will be procured under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), paragraph 6.302-1(a)(2), entitled "Only One Responsible Source". The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 333415. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is 8711. Telephone calls will not be accepted.
