This is a notice of a proposed sole source contract action for engineering and logistics services to Systems Engineering Associates Corporation (SEACORP) under the authority of 10 U.S.C.

2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.



The original manufacturer of the TSDC parts went out of business in 1992 and SEACorp hired the TSDC subject matter experts. As such, the experience, skill set required for timely installation, maintenance, and repair of the Ohio Equipment Replacement TSDC rests solely with SEACorp and its employees. In addition, the Ohio Submarine Class program is the only program using the OER TSDC thereby further limiting available expertise for maintaining these now unique, obsolete components.



The Government anticipates posting the Justification and Approval document with the Request for Proposals.



Under the proposed action, the Contractor shall provide life cycle engineering support for the development, installation, repair, refurbishment and maintenance of the Ohio Class Submarine Data Processing Subsystem (DPS) TRIDENT Signal Data Converter (TSDC) CV-3325B(V)/UYK equipment.





Tasks shall consist of operational and maintenance life cycle support, and revision development and advanced planning support.



Place of Performance - The contractor shall perform services at NUWCDIVNPT, the contractor’s facility, at on-site shore facilities, and aboard ship.



CLIN 0001 – Services

Anticipate award of a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract using FAR Part 15 processes and procedures.
