The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to General Dynamics, Inc.  The proposed action is for Flex Encryptors mission computer packages for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reason: Flex Encryptors are solely provided by General Dynamics.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to General Dynamics using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.       

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than June 24, 2020.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by June 25, 2020 at 2:00 PM EST will be considered by the Government.  Any questions must be received via e-mail by June 24 2020 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.
