The Air Force 88th Civil Engineering Office CEG/CENME located on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has a requirement for acquiring and deploying a Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) system to replace an older unit that has reached the end of usable life. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.1036-1(b)(1), resulting in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.

This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334519 – Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, (PSC) 6675 – Drafting, Surveying, and Mapping Instruments. Business size standard: 600 Employees.

The proposed source is Hexagon US Federal located at 301 Cochran Road, Huntsville, Alabama 35824, Cage/DUNS Code 63CL1. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract regardless of responses that may be received to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
