THIS REQUIREMENT IS ADVERTISED AS SOLE SOURCE. THE NOTICE IS PUBLISHED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S.C. Section 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."  A determination by the Government not to compete this effort is solely within the discretion of the Government.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Webster Outlying Field (WOLF) Airborne Systems Integration Division in St. Inigoes, Maryland, announces its intention to procure, on a sole source basis, from incumbent NSI-MI Technologies LLC, 19730 Magellan Drive, Torrance, CA 90502-1104 maintenance and calibration services for the Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR). These services are currently being performed by NSI-MI Technologies LLC under contract N00421-21-P-0027, and include preventive and corrective maintenance services and calibration, mid-tier repairs and replacements (as required), software version updates, system training, and the latest basic RF instrument drivers for the CATR, which were installed by NSI-MI Technologies LLC.  Due to the proprietary nature of the components and software used in the CATR, NSI-MI Technologies LLC is the only responsible source that can meet the Government’s requirement for a continuation of these support services without the Government incurring significant duplication of costs and program schedule delays. The follow-on contract for the continuation of maintenance and calibration services for the CATR has an estimated award date in April 2022 and includes the services provided in the attached RFP.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by 26 April 2022 16:00 EST will be considered by the Government. No request for capability briefings will be honored as a result of this notice. The Government will not pay for any information received or proposal costs incurred. The Government reserves the right to process this as a sole source procurement based on the responses received. Proposals shall be submitted to Cheri Swailes and Carolyn Emmart via email at cheri.a.swailes.civ@us.navy.mil and carolyn.a.emmart.civ@us.navy.mil.
