Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division plans to enter into a contract with General Digital Corporation (GDC), 8 Nutmeg Rd, South Windsor, CT. This will be a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for a min/max of 60/800 units over a five-year period.



The contract will be issued as a Firm-Fixed Price contract with delivery terms of 90 days after contract award.

Delivery will be FOB destination to NSWC Crane with inspection and acceptance at destination within 30 days of receipt.



This requirement will be negotiated on a sole-source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1)(a)(2)(iii) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The basis for restricting competition is this LCD assembly is built specifically for the requirements of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. GDC is manufacturer of the LCD assemblies and the existing designs, drawings, and software code are their proprietary information. Establishing alternative sources will result in unacceptable duplicative costs to validate an alternative LCD assembly, including environmental testing involving temperature, vibration, shock and moisture in both operational and stored configurations.



The Contractor must be properly registered in the Government System for Award Management (SAM) to receive an award.
