Description
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to contract using other than full and open competition for MobileDetect X ECP colorimetric test kits to be delivered to various airports. The MobileDetect X ECP colorimetric test kits are required in order to screen inorganic powder and granular substances at screening checkpoints. Accordingly, the TSA intends to award a contract to Detectachem Inc., 120 Industrial Blvd, Sugarland, TX, 77478-3128. This contract will address the requirements of TSA�s office of Security Operations. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested vendors who may wish to seek subcontracting opportunities should contact the above named company directly.
