In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), this contract was not competitively procured: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.  Work to be performed is the procurement of long lead time material and non-recurring engineering activities for LPD 30, the first Flight II ship in the LPD 17 amphibious transport dock ship class.

The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue solicitation N00024-18-R-2406 to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, acting through its Ingalls Shipbuilding division (HII), 1000 Access Road, Pascagoula, MS 39567 on a sole source basis for Detail Design and Construction (DD & C) of the LPD 30 Amphibious Transport Dock Ship and Life Cycle Engineering and Support (LCE & S), which includes post-delivery availability planning, systems integration and engineering support, design, material readiness, and logistics support for the San Antonio Class. The LX(R) requirement that was developed to replace the retiring LSD 41/49 Class amphibious ships will be fulfilled with a San Antonio Class Flight II with LPD 30 as the lead ship. As the designer, builder, and life cycle engineering and support provider of the entire San Antonio Class Flight I, HII is the only source with the requisite knowledge and experience required to construct the lead ship of the San Antonio Class Flight II and provide the required LCE & S. Pursuing an alternate source through competition would result in significant duplication of costs and unacceptable delays due to the loss of design expertise and production efficiencies achieved on the previous 13 ships that cannot be recovered on the first planned ship of Flight II. No other vendor possesses the requisite facilities and qualified cadre of engineers, designers, and a construction workforce that can design, plan, construct, test, and deliver current and future amphibious ships. This notification is issued for subcontracting purposes only.

The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis, which shall be considered by the Government. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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.
