This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.  This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to award on a sole source basis to Quickset Defense Technologies, LLC.  NSWCDD is expanding the capability of the current beacon system that is applied to atmospheric characterization experiments. A software-controlled pan-tilt mount is required to enable the remote control of the beacon illumination direction such that the beacon can be pointed in the direction of different receiver locations on the test range.  Currently the team collaborates with the team that utilizes a Quickset Defense Technologies, LLC pan-tilt mount and who has made a significant investment in developing control software, electrical interfaces, and mechanical interfaces for the pan-tilt mount.  The software and electrical signal interfaces were developed to conform to the Quickset Defense Technologies, LLC interface and will not work with other pan-tilt mounts.  This software and electrical systems will be utilized for the pan-tilt mount which will allow the team to rapidly integrate the pan-tilt mount and significantly reduce the cost for integrating the pan-tilt mount and allow collaboration.  Integrating the Quickset Defense Technologies LLC pan-tilt unit will ensure compatibility with existing software systems and electrical and hardware interfaces and will reduce the cost and time for integration and enable collaboration across the Warfare Center. Activities would include analysis of the software and electrical and hardware interface; re-design of Government software, and electrical and mechanical  systems; software development; electrical and mechanical fabrication and component purchase; and assembly of the components prior to pan-tilt mount integration, which would incur extra cost.  This additional time and duplication of cost could not be recovered through full and open competition.
