The Sole Nature of this Award: The Sly Fox Rapid Prototyping (SLY FOX) Mission 9 will be involved in the rapid development of an unmanned Wing in Ground (WIG) effect hovercraft systems to help combat the asymmetric terrorist threat. The vessel will consist of a combined hovercraft and wing-in-ground effect (WIG) vessel with the capability to carry various payload types. In order to meet the rapid development schedule, the WIG effect hovercraft system kit will need to be procured and delivered by July 15, 2007 to NSWCDD or within 45 days from date of the award. The rapid development nature of the SLY FOX project does not allow for time to design, build and integrate the many different components required for the frame, engine, and wing; so they must be available commercially in kit form. The items to be procured are components of a remotely controlled WIG effect hovercraft system. Essentially the items to be procured are the actual vessel itself, which consists of the hull, propulsion, hover, wing, and control systems. Other items will be integrated into the vessel including motor controls, servo s, autopilots, various sensors, turret, and turret controls. Currently , there are several companies who manufacture hovercraft or separately WIG vessels capable of meeting some of the requirements. However, only the UHT-19XRW Hoverwing, by Universal Hovercraft Technologies meets the required capabilities. The primary distinction of this manufacturer?s design is the combination of hovercraft and WIG capabilities into one vessel. The Government requires this Hoverwing combination to meet its mission requirements. Additionally, UHT holds the patents and license for this type of vehicle. The equipment and services will be acquired utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. The closing date will be 12 June 2007 with an anticipated award date of 15 June 2007. The NAICS Code associated with this procurement is 336612. Shipping and handling fees need to be quoted separately. Quotes must include a valid DUNS and CAGE Code. All items will be priced FOB-Destination, Dahlgren, Virginia. Delivery shall be 45 days after receipt of order unless noted on quote a different anticipated delivery time. All warranty and discount information shall be clearly identified in the quote. This acquisition will occur via a Firm Fixed-Price contract. All items shall be delivered and accepted FOB Destination to the Receiving Officer, 6220 Tisdale Road, Suite 100, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, Virginia 22448-5114, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on weekdays. No deliveries will be accepted on Federal holidays. The GOVERNMENT WILL NOT ISSUE A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR QUOTATION AS ALL ITEMS ARE IDENTIFIED IN THIS NOTICE.
