- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. General Information Document Type: Combination Solicitation/Synopsis Solicitation Number:W911W6-10-C-0029 Posted Date:November 10, 2009 Classification Code:34Metal Working Set Aside:NONE NAICS CODE:333512Machine Tool (Metal Cutting Types) Manufacturing. Contracting Office Address: Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, ATTN: CCAM-RDT, Building 401 Lee Boulevard, Fort Eustis, VA 23604-5577 Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is W911W6-10-C-0029 and is issued as a Request for Proposals (RFP). The Avaiation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) intends to award a firm fixed price contract utilizing FAR Part 13.5, Test Program for Commercial Items. The intent is to purchase a Hurco VMX42 Vertical Machining Center. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act. The machine must come with sufficient software to enable the conversational control control to interface with an existing rotary table, and be able to produce 4th axis conversational type programs. The intended source for this machine is Beckman Precision, Inc. 415 Brookshire Road, Greer, SC. Beckman Precision is the only Hurco dealer for the Virginia geographical area. Desired delivery is 120 days after contract award. The requirement is for a computer numerically controlled (CNC) Vertical Machining Center with the capability to interface with existing Hurco VMX 42 and VMX 62. AATD personnel have been trained on the Hurco machine control and will use this same control with the new machine to be purchased. This will reduce the cost of introducing a different type of machine control along with additional training dollars that would be needed. Purchase of the Hurco machine will also provide commonality between machines and ensure faster and more efficient operations. The machine will be used to rapidly machine components from solid metal for final products that AATD is required to fabricate. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by the due date and time in this synopsis will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
