- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City (NSWC PC) intends to issue a sole source contract to Aret Associates, 333 N. Wilmot Rd., Suite 450, for a Phase III Small Business Innovative Research effort to transition operator visual aid technologies into the AQS-20 post-mission analysis (PMA) workstation. This procurement includes an option for additional contractor support to modify the Automated Real-time Computer Aided Identification (ARCAID) Engineering Test Bed Application (ETBA) to include the operator cueing and operator visual aid capabilities. This will be a follow on to SBIR contract number N00178-05-C-3019, which corresponds to SBIR Topic Number N03-038. This procurement is sole source because Aret Associates is the sole developer of the ARCAID system and all internal software. Given the complexity of the ARCAID system and the level of system knowledge required to modify the ARCAID interface description language platform, it is reasonable to assert that Aret Associates is the only source possessing the expertise, internal technical data, equipment, and experienced personnel necessary to successfully provide the required support. Use of another company to modify the software may introduce new, or change existing parameters that may induce unacceptable error into the AN/AQS-20A system. Therefore it is imperative that this effort is awarded to Aret Associates immediately. The Request for Proposal (RFP) number is N61331-08-R-0046. The NAICS code is 541330 with a small business size standard of $4,500,000. The contract shall be firm fixed priced (FFP) with the base year period of performance being from the issuance of award until one year after date of award. The option year period of performance, if exercised, will be for one year. The expected award date is 25 November 2008. Delivery will be to the Naval Support Activity Panama City, Receiving Officer Building 100, 101 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001. Delivery terms for this requirement are FOB Destination. In order to be eligible for award firms must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Vendors may obtain information on registration in the CCR by calling 1-888-227-2423, or via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov. Please note that defense payment office may not make payment unless the contractor is established to receive electronic funds transfer (EFT). EFT payments are based on the contractors EFT information contained in the CCR database. The NSWCPC has implemented Electronic Commerce (EC) in the acquisition area. Therefore, this synopsis and any applicable amendments will be available at http://nswcpc.navsea.navy.mil/contracts/ztable/open_actions.html.
