- Description
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Tactical Technology Office (TTO) intends to award a Sole Source contract to Foster Miller for a follow-on effort in order to continue further development and demonstration of its RPGNets System. Foster Miller has previously received a DARPA-funded contract for the research and development related to their proprietary RPGNets system. The intended new effort will require Foster Miller to further develop and demonstrate a complete net-based vehicle protection system comprised of special ballistic nets and rapidly deployable brackets tailored for a particular vehicle, and to support user testing. Foster Miller is the only source known to the Government with the requisite capabilities, facilities, and experiences to perform the follow-on RPGNets effort within the Government's cost and schedule constraints. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1 “Only One Responsible Source.” It is likely that award to another source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is currently available. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Responses/proposals received within forty-five (45) days after date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open basis is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to meet the requirements by submitting a white paper and past performance data by no later than 24 October 2008 to The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Attn: Mr. Chris Glista, Contracts Management Office (CMO), 3701 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203-1714 or via email to christopher.glista@darpa.mil. Questions shall be submitted to the above email address. Please refer to Numbered Note 22.
