SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT - The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division intends to procure equipment to establish a wireless network within 30 days of the effective date of the order in support of the Navy:

This requirement will be solicited on a sole source basis with Cambium Networks, 3800 Golf Road, Suite 360, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008-4021 in accordance with Statutory Authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement." The basis for restricting competition is the approval requirements have already been completed to ensure IA/IT, cyber security and FIPS encryption standard compliance. Procuring from a different source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the program's requirements, which would result in compromising the aircraft's mission. There would also be a significant amount of duplication of costs to approve a different configuration.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation 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.

Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov.

This solicitation is being issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR 13. Synopsis exception FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies and Solicitation Number N00164-15-T-0232; is hereby issued as an attachment hereto.
