- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City, FL intends to award a sole source indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity contract to Northrop Grumman Corporation, Airborne Ground Surveillance and Battle Management Systems Integrated Systems Division, Melbourne, FL for engineering support services for preplanned product improvement (P3I) implementation, post mission analysis (PMA) development, integration of the developmental AN/AES-1 Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS), the AN/AWS-1 Rapid Airborne Mine Clearance System (RAMICS) and the Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA) System with existing or future fleet Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, and technology investigations related to improving these systems. The period of performance will be for five years from the date of award. This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. N! orthrop Grumman Corporation is the sole developer and integrator for the ALMDS, RAMICS, and COBRA systems. There is significant commonality in the hardware and design techniques between the ALMDS, RAMICS, and COBRA systems. Additionally, there is significant commonality in the data used by these systems and the interface of resulting system data with existing C4ISR systems. The interface of the AMCM systems, implementation of P3I concepts, development of tools and tactics for PMA, and the interface with C4ISR systems requires a detailed knowledge of these specific system designs. Therefore, Northrop Grumman is the only source possessing the expertise, technical data, equipment, and experienced personnel necessary to perform the required engineering studies and interface requirement definition analysis required to work these issues. There are no other possible sources that can satisfy this requirement without significant additional cost to the Government. See Numbered Note! 22.
