Description
The Marine Barracks Washington is seeking to upgrade the mobile shelving unit for the United States Marine Band's music library. The existing system, installed in 2004, is now obsolete, and the manufacturer can no longer service it. The Government intends to award a sole-source contract to Spacesaver Interiors for the upgrade, which involves dismantling the existing system, retrofitting the carriages with new controls, electronics, wiring, and motors, and upgrading the safety features. The existing carriages and shelving will be retained. The upgrade is essential for the proper storage of music and historic items while maximizing available space.
• The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract.
• The upgrade requires new proprietary components, including controls, electronics, motors, and safety features, that are designed and manufactured by Spacesaver Systems Inc.
• The sole authorized distributor and technical representative is Spacesaver Systems Inc. (doing business as Spacesaver Interiors) for the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area.
• Installation by any other vendor would void the manufacturer's warranty.
