As the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the RSD Accelerometer, HVC Frequency Equalizer, and sustainment parts, Boeing is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully manufacture and repair the system without causing unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements. Additionally, an award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, "Only One Responsible Source," and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

There is no commitment by the Government to issue any solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party before award of a contract for the efforts detailed above.
