The solicitation is governed by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) regarding commercial items and emphasizes the necessity for brand name equipment due to its specialized requirements. Vendors must provide certification as authorized resellers and confirm their eligibility by participating in the System for Award Management (SAM). The primary purpose of this procurement is to ensure the timely delivery of these particle counters, which are crucial for evaluating contamination levels in hydraulic fluid systems on Navy submarines. The statement of work outlines that the equipment must be delivered within twelve weeks of contract award. The document details various compliance issues including certifications related to telecommunications, child labor, environmental regulations, and tax compliance, establishing clear ethical and operational standards for potential bidders. Ultimately, this solicitation reflects the Navy's commitment to maintaining the operational integrity of its submarine fleet through diligent performance monitoring and quality assurance measures.
    This document is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the procurement of four PAMAS S40 GO Portable Particle Counters by the U.S. Navy to support the Performance Monitoring Team (PMT) at Naval Submarine Base New London, CT. The solicitation adheres to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for commercial items and stipulates that vendors must provide a brand name justification and proof of authorized reseller status by the submission deadline. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516, reflecting its classification as commercial support. The timeline for delivery is specified as 12 weeks post-contract award, and the document provides detailed requirements for technical specifications and compliance regulations, including vendor registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Quotes must be submitted by September 12, 2024, to the designated government contact. Key terms touch upon contractor obligations, non-personal service stipulations, and various acquisition clauses relevant to federal procurement. This solicitation exemplifies the government's focus on acquiring necessary technology in support of maintaining operational efficiency and safety for naval vessels.
    The document outlines a sole source justification for procuring the PAMAS S40 GO, a portable particle counter essential for measuring cleanliness levels in lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids used in naval submarine systems. Beckman Coulter, the previous manufacturer of the widely utilized Portable Oil Diagnosis System (PODS), has ceased production, necessitating an immediate replacement. The PAMAS S40 GO is uniquely compatible with existing naval systems, offering crucial features such as battery operation, an internal sampling pump, and compliance with Navy reporting standards. These characteristics ensure it can effectively replace the PODS while maintaining operational integrity across eight PMT commands. The analysis indicates that no alternative sources meet the stringent requirements and interoperability concerns necessary for shipboard use. The document concludes that the urgency of the situation justifies proceeding with this sole source acquisition to avoid delays in maintaining submarine readiness and operational efficiency due to the rapid obsolescence of current equipment.
