- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PC) intends to issue a sole source contract to KVH Industries, Inc, 50 Enterprise Ctr., Middletown, RI 02842-5279 for the procurement of ten (10) MV103DG Digital Magnetic Compass System, P/N 01-0155-02. This procurement is sole source for the following reasons: (1) The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Vehicle was first delivered in 1984 and had a service-life design of 21 years. Currently, the Navy has a Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for the LCAC. Under SLEP, the LCAC will enter the 21st century with markedly improved performance and an increased life span. The Digital Magnetic Compass (DMC) is specifically designed by KVH Industries and is the only Digital Magnetic Compass that is 100% compatible for re-use of the existing LCAC SLEP equipment. Use of another company?s Digital Magnetic Compass may introduce new or change existing parameters that may do more harm than good to the LCAC system. Failure of the LCAC system could result in loss of life as well as significant damage and maybe even loss of fleet assets. Therefore, this acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition. Delivery will be to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, Panama City, FL 32407-7001. NAICS Code 334511 applies. SBA Size Standard is 750 employees. FSC is 6605. A request for proposal will be utilized in awarding this action on or about 28 April 2006.
