Repair of Air Traffic Navigation Integration and Coordination System (ATNAVICS) Radio Frequency (RF) Components

The NAWCAD, Lakehurst, NJ intends to establish a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) and issue Delivery Orders on a non-competitive basis with Communications & Power Industries (CPI), LLC, 607 Hansen Way, Palo Alto, CA 94304-1015. This action is intended to procure supplies associated with the evaluation and repair of technical and restoration services and spare/repair parts for the AN/SPN-35C Precision Approach Radar, AN/SPN-43C Air Surveillance Radar System, AN/SPN-46(V) Precision Approach and Landing System (PALS), and AN/TPN-31A Air Traffic Navigation Integration and Coordination System (ATNAVICS) systems CPI Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components for a period of three years. The services and materials being procured under this BOA are integral to CPI who is the OEM of multiple ATC & LS components. This equipment was used on systems that were developed to meet the Government specifications that only defined Form, Fit, and Function (F3) requirements at the system level. The Government does not have specifications and/or detailed drawings for the components. Only CPI possesses the proprietary technical data that is essential for the manufacturing and depot level repair of the components. The AN/TPN-31A, AN/SPN-35C, AN/SPN-43C, and the AN/SPN-46(V) are complex radar systems. The equipment being modified, repaired, upgraded, and improved upon is proprietary to CPI, as the developer of these items. Therefore, award of a contract to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs that are not expected to be recovered through competition. This synopsis covers the Basic Ordering Agreement and all delivery orders issued against it.

THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR COMPETITVE PROPOSALS. This acquisition is being pursued under the sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C 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. Unless stated herein, no additional information is available. A determination by the Government not to compete this effort is solely within the discretion of the Government.

GENERAL INFORMATION: CPI is in sole possession of the technical documentation, as well as other proprietary data, such as Level II and Level III drawings and production tooling. Under the prospective BOA, CPI will continue to support the necessary system components that they designed and developed. CPI remains the only qualified source as they possess the resident technical expertise, proprietary data, and special tooling necessary to provide the engineering and repair support. It is imperative that the original source be used for AN/TPN-31A, AN/SPN-35C, AN/SPN-43C and AN/SPN-46(V) system procurements to maintain system operability through the required timeframe, 2040. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award or awards, or be responsible for any money expended by interested parties before award of a contract for the effort described above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract.
