Atlantic Test Ranges (ATR) Pedestal Maintenance & Upgrades

THIS SYNOPSIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

Atlantic Test Range (ATR), located on Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, supports Naval Air Warfare Center’s Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in conducting Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) testing as a Major Ranges & Test Facility Base (MRTFB) test installation. Aircraft Signature & Avionics Measurement Branch (ASAM) maintains/operates a number of ViaSat dual-axis single-drive antenna pedestal/controller systems that are essential to the support of RDT&E missions. Over the past few years, ATR completed an upgrade of several radar pedestals.

Due to the proprietary information and data rights, competition is limited.  The hardware required to make these antenna work properly must come from ViaSat, Inc.  The intent is to issue a sole source award of a five year (one year and four option years) Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to ViaSat, Inc. for the maintenance of existing pedestals, purchase of new pedestals and upgrades, and for an acquisition channel to purchase spares or repairs in minimum time when time is a critical element.

The applicable NAICS Code is 811213. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. While this notice of intent is for informational purposes only and not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties may identify their interest and technical capability, which shall be considered by NAVAIR.
