SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only, Nano Motion Inc. of Ronkonhowa, New York, Cage 4WMW3, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This is being solicited on a Sole Source basis because the controller is a small circuit control assembly that is used to drive the shutter motor’s throughout the Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS) Turret. The MTS is manufactured by Raytheon Company of which Nano Motion is a subcontractor.  The shutter-motor has already been integrated in MTS variant supporting the MQ-25 Stingray Program.  PN: S753151002-01,REV_A – Controller, shutter-motor is unique to MTS HD products  and requires use of specified components, and precision assembly in accordance with the MTS vendor drawing.  The controller manufactured by Nano Motion is the only approved controller for CSP MTS variant per the product configuration baseline. Use of an alternate controller would require processing a major engineering change proposal.  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.
