Intent to Award Sole Source_SpaceSavers

The United States Air Force intends to award a Sole Source contract for the upgrade of existing Spacesaver mobile scheduling shelves at the Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL). The upgrade includes touchscreens, auto-movement, safety sweeps, and replacement of 1/8 H.P. motors. The contract will be awarded to SpaceSaver Storage Systems Inc. due to their exclusive access to proprietary OEM parts and factory-certified technicians. Key points to consider: • The contract is for a turn-key electronic and mechanical upgrade of existing equipment. • The upgrade aims to replace obsolete electronics and extend the sustainment lifecycle of the existing structural carriages. • The contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. • The proposed source is SpaceSaver Storage Systems Inc., and they are the only service center for the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). • The reason for the lack of competition is the exclusive access to proprietary OEM parts and factory-certified technicians.
