A sole source procurement for spare parts, repair services, technical support services for the Common Ground Station/Joint Services Workstation, which is part of the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System, to GDC4S, Scottsdale, AZ.

The US Army CECOM Contracting Center Army Contracting Command, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5000, intends to issue a sole source procurement for spare parts, repair services, and technical support services for the Common Ground Station (CGS)/Joint Services Workstation (JSWS), which is part of the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System, to General Dynamics C4 Systems (GDC4S), Scottsdale, AZ. The Government does not possess all of the detailed design information or specifications that any source, other than GDC4S, would need in order to produce spare parts for the CGS/JSWS that meet the Governments form, fit, and function requirements. GDC4S is the configuration manager for the CGS/JSWS and controls the design below the performance specification level. GDC4S proprietary data, to include drawings, software, source codes, and test and calibration procedures, is needed to assure interoperability and interchangeability with CGSs/JSWSs that have been previously procured from GDC4S. Only GDC4S possesses the unique knowledge of the CGS/JSWS design and, consequently, it is the only source that can provide the required spare parts. The intended resulting contract will be a five (5) year Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract for spare parts with Time and Materials line items for spares with a minimum guarantee of $2,500,000.00, which will be awarded under the initial Delivery Order and an estimated overall contract ceiling value of $47,000,000.00. This sole source procurement is authorized under FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and 10USC2304(c)(1). The solicitation document will be posted on or about 02 February 2009 via the Armys Interactive Business Opportunity Page (IBOP).
