MK105 Depot Level Support

10 USC 2304 (c) (1)
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) intends to award a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract on a sole source basis to EDO Corporation, 430 West 5th Street, Suite 600, Panama City, Florida 32401-6357. This IDIQ contract includes a variety of engineering services for the repair and conversion of the MK 105 and the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS 53). The use of task orders will provide the flexibility necessary for the different types of work required. Under this IDIQ, EDO will provide for repair, modification and overhaul of the MK 105 and AMNS 53 systems. This includes all depot repairs and incorporation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECP), including the generation of all Integrated Logistics Support documentation to support the conversions. This effort is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. a) EDO is the manufacturer and the only source for the two systems listed above. As such, only EDO has the expertise, technical data, equipment, and experienced personnel to successfully complete the system overhauls and supporting documentation as well as the other tasking specified above. EDO is the Depot facility for the above Airborne Mine Counter Measures (AMCM) systems. EDO is the Software Support Activity and the Drawing Configuration Manager for the MK 105 and AMNS 53 systems. The Government views all software and drawing changes, but the software and drawings reside at EDO under Contractor control. b) Given the complexity of the MK-105 and AMNS systems and the level of system knowledge required overhauling and repairing this complex equipment and systems, EDO is the only source possessing the expertise, internal technical data, equipment, and experienced personnel necessary to successfully provide the engineering and design services to accomplish all tasking. c) This is a follow-on to contract N61331-09-D-0005 for the acquisition of engineering services for continued development of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, within the exact meaning of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Use of any other vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. In summary, there are no other possible sources that can satisfy this requirement without significant additional cost, significant schedule risk and significant technical risk to the Government.
