Issue Date: 15 SEP 2017 - Closing Date: 16 OCT 2017 - 2PM EST (EDT)

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for Technical Support, comprised of Engineering Support Services, Phone Technical Support, Program Management, Obsolescence Management, Operational on-the-job training (OJT), Maintenance Training, and Testing Support, for the Common Chassis System

SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source Aeronix, Inc., 1775 West Hibiscus Boulevard, Suite 200, Melbourne, Florida under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)), only one responsible source. This is the first Job Order under N0016417GJV02.

The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data and duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source. The duplicative cost and delay are comprised from the cost to procure, re-tool, reverse engineer, generate acceptance test procedures, perform first article testing, acquire flight certification, underway for sub-surface platforms, and perform stress analysis.

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.
