This requirement will be procured in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Designturn, Inc. was awarded an exclusive license to the technology by the Medical Research Medical Command and has worked with the Army to build military appropriate system. No other company sub-licensed the technology from Designturn, Inc. They are the only source for military compatible system. Any other company would violate the US patent for this technology. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. All sources eligible to provide this service must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within 15 days after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this notice is to be sent to Ms. Monica Pileggi at [email protected].
