The contract will allow for the purchase of up to one hundred and thirty (130) (base and option qtys) AN/PSS-14 units and up to five (5) (base and option qtys) AN/PSS-14 Training Sets within FY 03; and up to seventy (70) (base and option qtys) AN/PSS-14 units and up to five (5) (base and option qtys) AN/PSS-14 Training Sets within FY 04. In addition, the contract will allow for two each one year options for contractor logistics and maintenance support for each AN/PSS-14 and AN /PSS-14 Training Set (Sweep Monitoring System (SMS) portion only) purchased (up to 200 and up to10, respectively). Finally, the contract will include a Time and Materials requirement for new equipment training on an as needed basis for FY 04 and FY 05. T he AN/PSS-14 (HSTAMIDS) is a dual-sensor mine detector that provides the Army Combat Engineer units and other users with a much-improved capability to detect low-metallic and metallic mines over the capabilities of the presently fielded AN/PSS-12 Metal Det ector. The AN/PSS-14 incorporates Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) coupled with an improved metal detector (MD), an integrated electronics/ algorithm suite, and enhanced audio alerts. An AN/PSS-14 Training Set contains one (1) SMS and a Training Target Set. The SMS is a three-dimensional tracking tool that facilitates and reinforces correct operating techniques during training. The Training Target Set includes 79 special purpose, inert mine-like targets in 8 different configurations. The resultant contract will be firm fixed price. It has been determined that CyTerra is the 'Only One Responsible Source and no other Supplies or Services will satisfy Agency Requirements'. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c)(1); Only One Responsible Source and no Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. However, all responsible sources that can provide supporting data to demonstrate they can successfully provide the required AN/PSS-14 and AN/PSS-14 training s ets shall be considered by the agency.
