This will be used as a tester capable of applying 25kN force in tension or compression at the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory. Competing this requirement and awarding to any other source would result in substantial delays and disruption of the laboratory process already in progress and would increase the overall cost to the Government. There is no solicitation number, for reference use PR W31NWX8225N030. This procurement shall be under other than full and open competition procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302.Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is not a request for a competitive quote. Any response to this notice must be submitted in writing to the Government and show clear and convincing evidence that another source is capable of meeting the Governments requirements and that competition of the requirement would be advantageous to the Government.
