AEGIS Sites Engineering, Operation, and Maintenance Requirements

The Navy intends to utilize other than full and open competition to award a contract modification to Lockheed Martin and Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS), in Moorestown, NJ, for engineering maintenance services related to the operation and maintenance of the Combat Systems Engineering Development Site (CSEDS).  This procurement provides for AEGIS trained staff to maintain the operation of two (2) additional AEGIS Combat Systems (ACS), the Power Conversion Modules (PCM) and Close-In-Weapon-System (CIWS), installed at CSEDS.  The contractor will provide program management, technical engineering, configuration management, associated equipment/supplies, quality assurance, information assurance, operation and maintenance for CSEDS.  Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), LM RMS is currently the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the Navy’s requirements for continuing AEGIS sites support without unacceptable delay in fulfilling the Government’s requirements.  Competition for these efforts at this time would result in unacceptable delays to the US Navy, BMD, FMS programs and non-AEGIS programs, and could compromise the effectiveness and reliability of the AWS and the other capabilities to be integrated under ACB 12, 16, and 20/ TI 12, 12H and 16.

Note:  The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302.  Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.  This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.  However, all proposals received within 30 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.  A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
