Submission & Evaluation
This is a sole source requirement, as competition is deemed impractical due to the critical need for the new equipment to interface seamlessly with existing Rockwell/Allen Bradley PLC's. Using a different brand would necessitate scrapping existing equipment. Procuring from another source for Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley equipment may also result in a lack of factory support, warranties, and the latest equipment versions. Submissions from interested organizations will be evaluated solely to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. The Government reserves the discretion to not compete the proposed effort. Oral communications are not acceptable.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a Sole Source procurement. Electrical Equipment Corporation is identified as the only authorized dealer for the region capable of providing the required equipment.
