- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PC) intends to award a sole source contract to BAE Systems of Greenlawn, NY 11740 for the procurement of three (3) AN/VRC-99B(C) radios, PN: 1051054G-4, that will be used in the deployment of the AN/WLD-1(V)1 Remote Minehunting System. The AN/VRC-99B(C) radio is used as part of the communications subsystem used to control the Remote Minehunting Vehicle (RMV). It is part of the Line-of-Sight (LOS) link hardware that is used to control the RMV. This procurement is sole source for the following reasons. The AN/VRC-99B(C) radio, manufactured by BAE Systems, was competitively chosen at the beginning of the RMS development program by the prime development contractor and the Data Link Subsystem (DLS) was subsequently designed and tested around it for LOS operations. This radio is an integrated part of the RMS DLS subsystem and is uniquely capable of operating with the existing hardware and software already designed into the system. Specific commands for remote, automatic operation of the radio are incorporated into the existing system, requiring the identical radio for plug-and-play operation. Other radio features that are required for RMS operations include: Embedded encryption approved for SECRET level data transmission, operation in the 1.7 - 2.0 GHz radio frequency band used by the military, data rates up to 3.15 Mbps, and automatic network establishment of at least three radios. There are no other radio(s) currently built that have such features and can operate with RMS off-the-shelf. This is a follow-on contract for the production of a highly specialized equipment within the exact meaning of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Use of any other vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that, given the limited number of items being acquired, would not be recovered through competition. Delivery will be to the Naval Support Activity - Panama City, Receiving Offic er, Building 100, 101 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7018. NAIC S Code 334220 applies. SBA Size Standard is 750 employees. FSC is 5820. Point of contact for this procurement is the Contract Specialist Stacy Figlinski at stacy.figlinski@navy.mil.
