Production of AN/SPS-48G Radar Modification Kits

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source contract to Exelis, Inc., 7821 Orion Avenue, Van Nuys, CA 91406.  The Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract will be for the production of AN/SPS-48G(V)1 Radar modification kits and will include requirements for administrative/financial data, technical data and provisioning technical documentation.  In addition to the Base Year (FY14 requirements), the contract will include options for additional kits for FY15-18 requirements, with a total maximum contract quantity of 19 kits. 

Exelis, Inc. (formerly ITT Electronics Systems - Radar Systems, Gilfillan Division) is the original designer, developer, and sole manufacturer of the AN/SPS-48 Radar System.  No other firm possesses the technical expertise, engineering background, or specific AN/SPS-48 Radar manufacturing expertise required to perform the effort in a cost effective manner and meet the required delivery schedule in support of United States Navy shipbuilding, deployment and operational requirements.  Additionally, the Government does not possess sufficient Technical Data Rights to a Technical Data Package that is necessary to compete the production requirement of the AN/SPS-48G(V)1 Radar modification kits. Therefore, the contract will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one or a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.  The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all expressions of interest received within fifteen (15) days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Any submissions will not be reimbursed by the Government -- the entire cost of any submission will be at the sole expense of the source submitting the information. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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.  This synopsis is for informational purposes only and for the benefit of potential subcontractors.  Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Exelis, Inc. directly.
