SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE

C-Band Doppler Radar Life Cycle Replacement Parts

THIS IS A Sources Sought Notice ONLY.

The U.S. Government desires the procurement of proprietary C-Band Doppler Radar components from Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), for life cycle replacement. The Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) currently intends to award a contract on a sole source basis, but is seeking vendors that may be able to supply the required components to support a competitive procurement. We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirements at a fair market price.

This notice does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. Further, the U.S.

Government is not seeking quotes, bids or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this sources sought notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. However, if a competitive solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Governmentwide Point of Entry (GPE), SAM.gov. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the GPE for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The anticipated NAICS code is: 334511 Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing with a corresponding size standard of 1350 employees.

ACQUISITION PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES:

The West Desert Test Center at Dugway Proving Ground requires the procurement of specialized C-Band Doppler Radar components to replace obsolete parts currently at high risk of failure due to end-of-life cycle. These components must be sourced from Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), to ensure seamless system integration and sustain mission-critical operations. Because EEC holds exclusive rights to the proprietary technical data and specialized manufacturing processes required for component compatibility, procurement from an alternative source would result in unacceptable delays and a significant duplication of costs.

The Contractor shall furnish the following life cycle replacement parts:

Item Quantity Pulse Profile RF Sensor 1 Dehydrator, 230V, 50-60Hz 1 Rotary Joint, C-Band - Elevation Axis 1 Fiber Optic Rotary Joint, C-Band - Azimuth Axis 1 Drive Motor (AZ or EL) 1 TSG Assembly, C-Band 1 IQ2 IFD Assembly, SIDPOL 1
