SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT - The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division has a requirement for Toplite Electro-Optic System (EOS) spare parts, intermediate and depot level test equipment, repairs, training, technical, engineering, and material support services. Toplite is the EOS on the MK-38 Machine Gun System.
 
NSWC Crane intends to award a five-year firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract with a maximum value of approximately $13,400,000. The FOB point is Destination.

The proposed contract action is for the supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems LTD, P.O. Box 2250, Haifa, 31021 Israel, in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

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 sources. 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.
