This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source. This is not a formal Request for Quotes (RFQ) or a Request for Proposals (RFP), and no solicitation document is available. This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of any information. 1. Contracting Activity 30th Contracting Squadron 1515 Iceland Ave. Building 8500 Vandenberg, CA 93437 2. Description of Requirement 30 SFS requires the procurement of advanced Humanoid Engageable Kinetic Training Robot (HEKTR) systems to enhance the tactical training capabilities of installation Defenders. These systems, manufactured by MVP Robotics, are designed to provide realistic, live-fire training scenarios that improve the readiness and effectiveness of Security Forces personnel. 3. Proposed Source & Sole Source Authority The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to: Proposed Awardee: MVP Robotics, Inc. Unique Entity ID (UEI): WJC7KAMMDYC4 The Contracting Officer has determined that MVP Robotics is the only source reasonably available to perform these services in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a) for acquisitions valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). 4. Rationale for Restricting Competition MVP Robotics is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Humanoid Engageable Kinetic Training Robot (HEKTR) training system. This procurement is being awarded as a result of SBIR Phase III. Under the SBIR program guidelines, Phase III awards are typically made to the company that developed the technology in earlier phases (Phase I and Phase II). MVP Robotics, as the original developer of HEKTR technology, is uniquely positioned to fulfill this requirement. Therefore, other potential sources were excluded from consideration to comply with SBIR Phase III procurement guidelines, which prioritize awarding contracts to the company that developed the technology. The proposed project derives from the following prior SBIR effort: a. Contract Number: FA864922P1030 b. Project Name: HEKTR Market Research Conclusion : MVP Robotics demonstrated capability to produce HEKTR systems with all required performance features. They are the original developers and sole manufacturers of the HEKTR, with a proven track record in military training applications. The market research concluded that there is not a reasonable expectation that two or more responsible offerors, competing independently, would submit priced offers for the HEKTR systems. Therefore, the procurement will proceed as a sole source acquisition with MVP Robotics under the SBIR Phase III program. 5. Submission Instructions for Interested Parties The Government believes that only one source, MVP Robotics Inc., can satisfy this requirement. However, in accordance with federal regulations, the Government will consider written capability statements from interested parties. To be considered, respond…
