This proposed action is for the replacement of the older MR154 spectroradiometer that is no longer repairable at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433.

The Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available: ABB Inc..

The proposed source is ABB Inc. 3400 Rure Pierre-Ardouin; Quebec, Quebec G1P 0B2; Canada.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: Research revealed no other vendor of the spectroradiometer that met government requirements.
