Sole Source to General Dynamics Mission Systems for MULTI-VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (MVCS) TACTICAL CROSS-DOMAIN SOLUTION

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD) intends to award a firm fixed price

purchase order on a sole source basis to General Dynamics Mission Systems, 1900 Founders Drive Suite 106,

Dayton, OH 45420 for systems integration support and training for the Multi-Vehicle Communication System

(MVCS) Tactical Cross Domain Solution (TACDS). These services are not suitable for full and open competition

for the following reasons: (a) GDMS is the sole developer and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for these

items. As such they are the only source with sufficient knowledge of the radio design and functionality to perform

the requirement; (b) After extensive trade studies, these GDMS CDS devices were selected for integration into the

MVCS Tactical Cabinets which created the MVCS v1.2.x baseline system. Replacing these units with another

product or manufacturer will not only duplicate the effort and delay the delivery of the tactical cabinets due to

required testing and studies, integrating a new product could potentially invalidate the testing that MVCS has

already completed on the legacy unit. The replacement may also introduce new problems and interface issues; and

(c) The Government did not purchase or acquire the rights in data and design or a technical data package (TDP) for

these items because they are commercial items. Therefore, GDMS is the only source capable of meeting the

requirement.

This purchase will be made under Simplified

Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), Only

One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice of intent

is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract

lies solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose

of determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement. Delivery will be to the Naval Support Activity

Panama City, Receiving Officer Building 100, 101 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001 FOB Destination.

The order period of performance will be from award of the order through 30 September 2020.
