- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division, Panama City, FL intends to procure four (4) sets of armor panels (4 panel kits of 58 panels each) for installation on the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC). The Navy intends to solicit and negotiate this contract on the basis of a limited competition between ArmorWorks, LLC of Chandler, AZ and Ceradyne, Inc. of Costa Mesa, CA based on FAR 6.302-1. These are the only two sources currently capable of meeting the Governments requirements. The armor panels are required to be manufactured in accordance with NAVSEA drawing 53711-164-7403836C and must meet MIL-STD-662 ballistic and MIL-STD-810 environmental requirements. (Note: Distribution of the drawing is limited to DoD and DoD Contractors only. Requests for the drawing by any source other than those identified in this announcement must be submitted via e-mail to Sharon.Hess@navy.mil. Drawing will not be released until the solicitation has been released. Contractors must have the capability and clearance required to store classified information up to the SECRET level prior to contract award. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons: The armor panels manufactured by Armor Works, LLC and Ceradyne, Inc. have both undergone and passed rigorous ballistic testing to a classified ballistic limit in accordance with MIL-STD-662 and environmental tests in accordance with MIL-STD-810 for humidity, dust, salt fog, and fungus. Use of any other source would require re-testing a first article at a substantial duplication of cost to the Government and a significant impact to the delivery schedule. Offerors wishing to qualify items for future procurements may find out about the process for qualification by contacting Mr. Michael Riley, NSWC PCD Code E34, (850)-234-4418, michael.d.riley3@navy.mil.
