Weaponeering and Stores Planning (WASP) 5. 2 Major Build for F-18 Platforms

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a sole source Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) delivery order (DO) under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-20-G-0001 to DCS Corporation (DCS) for the effort described in the following paragraph.

Under this DO, DCS will develop and deliver the WASP 5.2 Major Build and WASP 5.2.1, 5.2.2, and 5.2.3 Minor Updates applications for F-18 platforms.  This version of WASP shall also incorporate any technical data updates as designated by the Government.

This contract is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements.  DCS has developed and delivered all WASP versions, both U.S. and FMS, in a component-based evolutionary acquisition.  DCS has generated extensive, applied, knowledge-based experience and proficiency with the WASP code, database tier design and structure of WASP applications used by the Fleet community.  Selection of a contractor other than DCS would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, as well as unacceptable impacts to schedule and performance. No other source has the technical qualification and necessary resources to perform the work described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government's requirements.

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to the requirement. The Government will consider all information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award or awards, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties before award of a delivery order for the effort mentioned above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract. No phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses shall be made in writing by E-mail to the attention of Robert Miedzinski at robert.m.miedzinski.civ@us.navy.mil using the contract information provided in this synopsis. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact DCS directly.
