The Regional Contracting Center Fort Knox, 199 6th Ave., Ste. 250., Fort Knox, KY 40121-5720. This synopsis provides notice of the governments intent to award on a sole source basis to Advantage Mold, 525 N. Wheeling St., Toledo, OH 43605. The contract type is to be a Firm Fixed Price commercial type contract. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Advantage Mold is the only known source capable of satisfying the governments minimum requirement. The Purchase of any other mold or press system would also result in duplicate costs to the government. The Rapid Mold system is currently in use and providing excellent results. Modifying or changing the current system; recreating baseline drawings, testing, training and validation costs, in addition to the logistical costs of managing any other system would not be advantageous for the government.
