About this opportunity
This pre-solicitation notice announces the U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island's intent to issue a sole source request for proposal to Northrop Grumman for wideband remote monitoring sensor integration, installation and systems engineering services. These services are required to enhance the current WRMS software and hardware to function more effectively with the Wideband Global Satellite Communications satellite constellation and integrate with dependent sub-systems. Upgrades will be installed at all Wideband SATCOM Operations Centers and Remote Monitoring Control Equipment sites to support the U.S. Army, Product Manager Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems and Product Officer Wideband Control's monitoring and control of the satellite communications payload.
There is no set-aside designated for this potential award. Northrop Grumman is identified as the incumbent contractor given the technical nature of the requirement. The services procured under this five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract are critical to support continuous 24/7 monitoring and control of the DoD satellite fleet to prevent a catastrophic communications breakdown that could put military lives at risk or result in high casualties. A copy of the redacted sole source justification will be posted within 14 days of award.
Notice text
The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (ACC-RI) intends to issue a request for proposal to Northrop Grumman (NG) for a resultant sole source, five-year Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity Contract under the statutory authority, as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B).
U.S. Army, Product Manager Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems and Product Officer Wideband Control (PO WC) requires Wideband Remote Monitoring Sensor (WRMS) integration, installation and systems engineering services. These services are required to enhance the current WRMS software and hardware to function more effectively with the Wideband Global Satellite Communications (SATCOM) (WGS) satellite constellation, along with significant integration efforts with codependent sub-systems. These upgrades will be installed at all Wideband SATCOM Operations Centers (WSOCs) and Remote Monitoring Control Equipment (RMCE) sites.
Due to the technical nature of the requirement, efforts to compete this requirement have failed. Therefore, failure to award to NG would severely limit the soldiers' ability to monitor and troubleshoot interference and jamming on the DSCS/WGS satellites and any additional WGS emerging enhancements. This would cripple the USASMDC/ARSTRAT and 53rd Signal Battalion's mission for continuous 24/7 monitoring and control of the satellite fleet. The inability to monitor and control the satellite communications payload through the WRMS sub-system would cause a breakdown in critical DoD communications, which could lead to a catastrophic event occurring with the potential to put military lives at risk and/or result in a high number of casualties.
This pre-solicitation notification, otherwise known as a synopsis, is not a request for capability statements, quotes, or proposals. This pre-solicitation notice is to comply with the synopsis and posting requirements identified in FAR 5.2. A copy of the redacted sole source justification will be subsequently posted within 14 days of award in accordance with FAR 6.305(a).
