- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate Rome NY intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source purchase order under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 with Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems, 2340 Dulles Corner Blvd, Herndon VA 21071 to perform services to install the DA 3.1.5.1FENS 1-5 software on the previously installed R900 DA Clustered System hardware. Northrop Grumman will perform the software configuration to meet the site specific communications needs and testing on the previously installed hardware for proper operation. Though this notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, information received by the response date of this solicitation will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The NAICS code is 541519. Sole Source Justification: The software installation is required as part of the Defense Message System (DMS) implementation at the Western CONUS Regional Service Center (WCRSC). The software is part of a certified and accredited system configuration (DCID 6/3). Northrop Grumman is the developer of the Agent DA 3.1.5.1FENS 1-5 software. A critical part of the software installation is to test and verify that the software configuration is set up to meet the site-specific communications needs and maintain the approved configuration. Northrop Grumman is the only company with the expertise and experience to accomplish the installation with minimum site disruption. No other Company is known to be available that could ensure that if configuration control issues were encountered that they would be able to resolve them and ensure that the software remains certified and accredited without requiring additional resources incurring a delay to the DMS installation.
