SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT - Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement to award a five-year, Firm-Fixed-Price, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contract for components of the Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems (MTS), repair of MTS components, training and data. Anticipated components include chassis, VME power supply, covers, panel assemblies, fan plenums, backplanes, and flexes. The contractor shall furnish all materials, parts, supplies, equipment, labor, technical expertise, supporting documentation, and any other incidental items necessary to produce and provide components or repairs of the MTS systems to the government as required by contract. The FOB point shall be FOB destination: NSWC Crane. Inspection and acceptance will be at destination. Delivery orders shall be within scope, issued within ordering period, and be within the maximum total dollar value of approximately $2 Million over a five-year period.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Kontron America, Inc., (KAI), 14118 Stowe Drive, Poway CA 92064, under authority of FAR 6.302-1 (statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)). The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, restricted software rights, 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 necessitated are from reverse engineering the KAI components and developing specifications, soliciting competitive offers and awarding to an alternate source, development, production, system integration and operational test verification.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, 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. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact KAI directly.
