Notice of Intent - Sole Source

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for an RDS (Rapid Deployable System) enclosure. The NAICS code is 323312 and the Product/Service Code is J054.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Rapid Deployable Systems, Inc. The proposed action is for construction of an RDS enclosure for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.30a2-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reason: RDS, Inc. is the provider of the system previously purchased by NSWCCD. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to RDS, Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.      

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than October 22, 2021. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by October 22, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government. Any questions must be received via e-mail by October 20, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order 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.
