J065--Invivo UroNav Support - VISN23 499-25-1-6765-0026 - Service - POP 12/10/24 to 02/28/25
This is a Notice of Intent published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a)(1) requiring the dissemination of information regarding proposed contract actions. This Notice of Intent is for a proposed award of a sole source, firm-fixed price contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. It is not a request for competitive quotes. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23 intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Philips Healthcare as Philips Healthcare has proprietary ownership of the Invivo UroNav software. Any new equipment that is purchased and installed as part of this contract would need to be able to integrate with the existing system. Philips Healthcare is the only source that can provide the VISN23 of the VA with the necessary equipment, software, and annual licensing requirements. VA requires the proprietary software Invivo UroNav software, by Philips Healthcare in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements because the software and services are unique or proprietary to Philips Healthcare. Market research revealed that Philips Healthcare is the proprietary developer and distributor for the equipment currently being utilized by VA. The software system is routinely used by VA to provide security services for veterans in the VA Healthcare System. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541519 and the service code is J065. While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. The Government understands that Philips Healthcare is the only vendor that can provide the requested services. However, vendors that believe they can provide the capabilities required to fully meet the Government's requirement may submit information in writing to marie.weathers@va.gov by November 8, 2024. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis.

Duluth Maintenance Dredging 2024

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District is seeking firms that have the capability to provide maintenance dredging in Duluth, MN.

This project involves maintenance dredging in the Duluth-Superior Federal navigation channel located along the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Contractor will be required to mobilize a dredge to the Duluth-Superior channel and perform mechanical dredging within the channel.  Dredging will be required within the following areas:

•         The mouth of the Duluth Entry

•         Two separate areas of the Duluth Harbor Basin along the westerly channel limits

•         East Gate Basin near Rices Point.

The contract may also include options to perform additional dredging within the East Gate Basin along the easterly channel limits.

Dredged material will be placed along Wisconsin Point adjacent to a closed former landfill between the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) and the most landward 12 foot (ft) depth contour.  The Contractor must have the equipment and ability to perform in-water mechanical dredging to the required depths, to transport and place material at the required placement area.

Placement at Wisconsin Point will require the implementation of various Best Management Practices (BMPs) to ensure turbidity is kept within state-approved limits at the placement site. BMPs will also be implemented to limit debris being placed along Wisconsin Point. Placement at Wisconsin Point is unrestricted for hydraulic or mechanical placement.  An allowable transfer box location will be provided to allow for hydraulic placement operations and will be located adjacent to the southernmost limits of the Federal navigation channel (near Allouez Bay).  An allowable pipeline path (for hydraulic placement) and staging area will be provided near a closed former landfill on Wisconsin Point, adjacent to the placement site.  If the pipeline access route is utilized, the Contractor will be responsible for ensuring Wisconsin Point Road and Allouez Bay (pedestrian, vehicular and watercraft traffic) remains accessible to the public through the life of the project.

The required dredging depths will be approximately 27 ft to 33 ft below Low Water Datum (LWD) depending on the location within the harbor. The material is expected to be a mix of (predominantly) sand, with the potential of minor debris typical in an active harbor. The quantity of dredged material in the contract may range from approximately 50,000 cubic yards to 80,000 cubic yards.

The anticipated period of performance for dredging is 1 July 2024 through 15 October 2024.

The Contractor would then demobilize when dredging and material placement are complete.

This Sources Sought announcement is for planning and market research purposes only and is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP), or Invitation for Bid (IFB).

No basis for claim against the Government shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought Notice. The Government will not pay for information or comments provided and will not recognize any cost associated with the submission of responses or comments.

Minnesota - Fergus Falls - Devitt Federal Building & US Courthouse - Passenger Elevator Modernization - 47PF0024R0051

This is a solicitation notice for a contract with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Building Service, Region 5, at the Devitt Federal Building and US Courthouse, 118 S. Mill St., Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

This acquisition will result in a single contract award.

The purpose of this project is to refurbish and upgrade the passenger elevator, and all associated work, as detailed in the specifications. This modernization is intended to bring the elevators into full compliance with the ASME A17.1 national standards, as well as new International Building Code, National Fire Protection Association, and National Electrical Code requirements for elevators.

The performance period for on-site work is ninety (90) calendar days from the issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP).  The estimated range for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. This procurement is set aside for small business concerns. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) with a size standard of $16.5 million. This is a negotiated procurement; there will NOT be a public bid opening.

The award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government, considering the technical factors and total evaluated price. For this procurement, the technical factors will be significantly more important than price (FAR 15.101-1, Trade Offs). The technical factors will include: past experience providing 
comparable construction services, project management plan, and past performance on comparable projects. The Government reserves the right to make award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate.

A pre-proposal conference for this procurement has been scheduled and the information will be included in the pending solicitation. Each company planning to attend will be required to register in advance. A pre-proposal conference registration form will also be included in the solicitation.

GSA considers attendance at this conference vital to the preparation of a competitive and cost-effective proposal and to understanding the total result desired by the Government. Failure to attend this meeting may not be used as an excuse for omissions and miscalculations in offers.

All government contractors must be registered in SAM.gov in order to download solicitation documents and is used to validate vendor identity. Contractors not registered in this system will be ineligible to download the solicitation and ineligible for an award.

Any questions regarding this notification should be directed to Malcolm Lewis, Contracting Officer, at malcolm.lewis@gsa.gov.
