CLUSTER BIGHT System Services

 The Naval Undersea Warare Center Division Newport, RI (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Sole Source Requirement to L3 Kollmorgen ElectroOptics (L3 KEO). The Contractor shall provide services to NUWCDIVNPT Code 34 Special Projects in the areas of CLUSTER BIGHT system refurbishment, installation support, technical assistance support, removal support, system repair, and technical support on Special Project development. L3 KEO conducted this effort under the original contract.  L3 KEO is the only company capable of installing, maintaining the system at-sea, repairing and overhauling the system in a cost-effective timely manner. Any other company would require a lengthy, expensive investment to come up to speed on a complex intelligence system that took four years to design and build, and would require significant investments to meet the qualifications to remove, maintain, and install the system, including all the specialized test equipment, proper facilities, and specific technical skills, including knowledge of  the proprietary parts and subsystems incorporated into the system.  The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. All responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals, quotations or capability statements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract is based upon responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties may identify to the Contracting Officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement.  NAICS code is 33314, size standard is unrestricted.
