Sole Source Order to ScioTeq

Description

THIS SOLICITATION IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. A determination not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Quotes received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. (RFQ) Number is N6660426Q0311 The Government’s existing platform infrastructure is manufactured by ScioTeq, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which necessitates that the required hardware must also be acquired from ScioTeq, LLC. Without the essential ruggedization process ScioTeq, LLC provides, the new hardware would not be compatible with existing and would not be compatible with various conditions the platform is subjected to. Utilizing different hardware is not feasible as it would require complete redesign, engineering, and manufacturing of a new platform. This alternative would also demand extensive qualification testing, leading to significant cost overruns and schedule delays, therefore, ScioTeq, LLC is the only source capable of meeting this requirement.
