A solicitation will NOT be posted to https://www.sam.gov due to the sole source nature of this requirement.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane intends to execute a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) and Job Orders (JOs) for the support of Multi-Mission Optical Sensor (MMOS) and MTS Pedestal Enclosure System (MPES) Operations, Maintenance and future development efforts primarily products, including equipment related services. The proposed contract action is for the supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Raytheon Company, 1100 Wilson Blvd Ste 2000, Arlington, Virginia 22209, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. (U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)). The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, 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.

Raytheon is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer, and is the only source that currently possesses sufficient requisite knowledge, engineering expertise, aircraft integration information, and technical data required to perform these efforts. No other source has the technical qualification and necessary resources to neither supply the requirement described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government's requirements.  All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this announcement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of re-evaluating the justification for sole source or limitation of sources and making a determination to change the acquisition strategy to a competitive procurement. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Raytheon Company directly.

Request for Proposal (RFP) will not be made available through https://www.sam.gov. The RFP will be provided to directly to Raytheon Company through electronic mail. The proposed noncompetitive contract action is anticipated to be awarded under FAR Part 15, contracting by negotiations.

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.
