The USDA, Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) intends to issue an award on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)) to OneVision Corp at 5805 A Chandler Court Westerville, Ohio 43082. FSIS seeks to establish a Firm-Fixed Price Purchase Order to procure a new seam stripper Model 700A and installation. OneVision will supply and install a seam stripper at FSIS Western Laboratory located in Albany, CA.

OneVision will provide all necessary hardware, software, project management, engineering, installation, point-to-point, startup/checkout, training, and warranty for a complete, turnkey system. These services, training and product repair/support can only be provided through OneVision - for the USDA Albany facility. FSIS Laboratory requires specific equipment that will perform seam removal on containers of various sizes.

As a regulatory agency we are expected to evaluate any abnormal container that is sent to us for analysis and must have the equipment to perform a tear down on any sized can. Similar products do not meet our criteria for safety and regulatory practices. OneVision Corporation is the only product that satisfies this requirement and meets agency needs.

Our Microbiologists are trained to use the other products from OneVision Corporation and this seam stripper is tied to existing equipment and software for data reporting.
