This Sources Sought notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 206.302-1(d). Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), St. Inigoes, Maryland has a requirement for MilPower, Inc. (MILPOWER) AM-7581A/SRC 100 Watt Power Amplifiers (Part Number (P/N) 34000-1), and MILPOWER AM-7584V/SRC 200 Watt Power Amplifier (P/N 26000-2), including associated parts for mounting hardware kits, rails, and power cords, for the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) / Very High Frequency (VHF), Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Communication System for the Maritime Security Cutter. This effort is to acquire hardware that has been proven to meet sponsor mandated requirements, and is backward compatible with systems already fielded. MILPOWER retains their proprietary rights to the Power Amplifiers and associated mounting hardware slides and power cords, for which the Government does not possess data/rights to permit full and open acquisition. Without this technical data, it would be impossible for any other source to provide the required power amplifiers which meet required form, fit, and function criteria. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government will consider responses received to this notice. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
