ISSUE DATE 03 JUL 2019 - CLOSING DATE 16 JUL 2019 - 4:00 PM Eastern Time

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for Real-Time Innovations-Data Distribution Service (DDS) 4.4D used to bridge DDS applications across different domains to support a systems-of- systems architecture, interoperate new and legacy applications to support new product deployment while maintaining previous generation products or to integrate independently-developed systems for progressive system upgrades.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Real-Time Innovations, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(2)(b)(1)(i). This is being sole sourced because without this version of middleware, there would be no translation of message traffic between two systems and that would create a risk to early warning defense. 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 866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://sam.gov.
This solicitation is being issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR Part 13. Synopsis exception FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies and Solicitation Number N00164-19-Q-0287 is hereby issued as an attachment hereto.

All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted to FedBizOpps. It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor the FedBizOpps site for amendments that may be issued to this solicitation. For changes made after the closing date, only those offerors that provide a quote will be provided any changes/amendments and considered for future discussions and/or award. Offers shall be e-mailed to shauna.pegg@navy.mil. All required information must be received on or before 16 JUL 2019 at 4:00 PM EASTERN TIME.
