These items will be utilized in the repair and sustainment support of the Raytheon family of Electro Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) Systems, also known as Multi-spectral Targeting Systems (MTS).

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Moog Inc. (1213 N. Main St., Blacksburg, VA. 24060-3127), under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because the Government does not own design specifications adequate to allow for competition and Moog, Inc. has advised that Moog does not intend to license or sell its proprietary data to the Government or to any entity. Based on their unique system design, test and component interface knowledge and experience, Moog is the only contractor possessing the capability to provide the required supplies and services in the timeframes required. Therefore, Moog is the only contractor possessing the capability to provide the required supplies/services to meet mission requirements without significant duplicative costs and time delays to the Government, which would not be recouped through a competitive contract action.

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 solicitation 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. Solicitations and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to sam.gov and are available only from the POC identified below.

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.
