This proposed action is for the acquisition of an Optical Intensifier for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). It was determined that Axiom Optics Inc is a large business that is capable of meeting the Government’s specifications as they are stated in the attached Statement of Work (SoW). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.501(a)(1), resulting in a Firm- Fixed -Price contract. The proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516 -Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, (PSC) 6760 -Photographic Equipment and Accessories. The proposed source is Axiom Optics Inc, 444 Somerville Ave Ste 2 Somerville, Massachusetts 02143-3270. 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. 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 the of competition is as follows: Axiom Optics Inc, is the only known business capable of meeting the Government’s requirement, which is the need for a HiCatt 25 S20B 40ns 1000kHZ product with an intensifier gate control and 45mm UV lens CERCO F/1.8 characteristic. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to award to Axiom Optics Inc. Please see Attachment 2, Sole Source Justification, for complete details.
