NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SINGLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT R2201617 Response Deadline: 3:00 p.m., LPT, Thursday, March 24, 2022 Marshall University intends to waive the solicitation process and approve a single source to purchase micro air self-contained down draft tables. The University has determined this equipment fits our needs. Justification: The University has determined the XA38M AND XA23M down draft table system has many unique features that are essential to the University’s program. Those features include the following: 1. Units need to be within the specifications of the designated space 2. Units must be thin enough for students to move safely during the course of instruction 3. Both units must fit both our space and material collection (from composite material collected from the air) requirements 4. Units must be delivered and installed by May 13, 2022 Interested Vendors (firms or individuals) that can sell an “or equal” Micro Air Self-Contained Down Draft Tables to the University can respond with an alternate solution that overcomes the single source reasons stated above, along with sufficient, detailed, convincing documentation, regarding their ability to supply equivalent Micro Air Self-Contained Down Draft Tables. The Vendor’s response must be sent directly to Marshall University Associate Director of Purchasing, Michelle Wheeler, at [email protected] and received no later than 3:00 p.m., LPT, Thursday, March 24, 2022. Any responses to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the University. Supporting documentation should include, but is not limited to, Micro Air Self-Contained Down Draft Tables specifications, available quantities and a comprehensive timeline. The University reserves the right to require the responding Vendor to submit additional information as it may deem necessary and may consider any evidence available to it of the financial technical and other qualifications and abilities of the responding Vendor. This is not a request for bids or proposals and there is no solicitation available. The University will not consider any responses as a proposal, bid, or quote. Any response received as a result of this Notice of Intent shall be considered solely for determining whether bona fide competition exists. If it is determined by university staff, after reviewing any information received from responding Vendors, that the single source justification stands and the droplet digital system are available only from a single source, the University will waive the solicitation process and award the single source procurement.
