A 5-year Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contract is anticipated.  Final inspection and acceptance will be at destination by a team consisting of NSWC Crane technical employees.

First Article units, 30 Arrays (15 Even - 15 Odd), 94 Chokes will be required 180 days after contract award and will be included as part of the production quantity. The Government intends to award to the responsible contractor whose offer represents the best value to the Government considering Technical, Past Performance, and Price Related factors.  Due to the nature of this procurement; which requires multiple in-process Government inspections during the manufacture of AN/SPS-48E Arrays and Chokes, it would not be in the best interest of the Government to have one contractor perform the Array manufacture and another perform the Choke manufacture.  As a result, the Government intends to award a Single Award Contract.  The Contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), located at http://www.sam.gov.  The documents are limited distribution (Distribution D) and will not be made available unless approval is granted.  Interested contractors must be registered in SAM and the Joint Certification Program (JCP) in order to receive access.  Information about the JCP is located at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp.
