Synopsis - Photonics Depot Mast Repair, Upgrade & Overhaul Services
The following notice serves as a proposed contract action synopsis prepared in accordance with FAR 5.2, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
This proposed contract action is being processed on a sole source basis. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334511. The Small Business Size Standard is 1,350 employees.
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport, RI (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Cost- Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and Cost Reimbursement (CR) indefinite delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract on a sole source basis to L3 Technologies, Inc. (hereafter referred to as “L3T”). This requirement is for Photonics Depot level repair, maintenance, and upgrade services, repair parts, and engineering services for Photonics Masts (PM), Photonics Mast Variants (PMV), ISIS Augmented System (IAS) also known as Low Profile Masts (LPM), and Low Profile Photonics Masts (LPPM). Depot level services are required to sustain operational capability for the Fleet’s complex mast systems. Additionally, this requirement is for the procurement and/or repair of materials, subassemblies and parts necessary for mast depot level repairs.
This requirement is a follow-on to N66604-19-D-G900 with L3T.
The proposed contract action is for services and supplies for which the Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a) (1), ‘Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements’. L3T, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), is the only responsible source capable of providing the highly specialized depot repair services required for the sustainment of PM, PMV, LPM, and LPPM. The existing OEM depot facility is the only practicable source of the required sustainment services and parts. Any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government and create unacceptable delays infulfilling the agency's needs. Therefore, L3T is the only source capable of providing the required services and parts to meet the Government’s minimum requirements.
The estimated level of effort for this requirement is 451,141 hours. The draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) is provided as Attachment 1 to this notice.

Information shall be submitted no later than 2:00 PM on Tuesday, 12 May 2023 via email to Justin Monti: Justin.g.monti.civ@us.navy.mil.
