- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order for the procurement of the ARC-243 HF Radio Interface Requirements Specification (IRS) from Rockwell Collins, Inc under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, 'Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements'. Currently, the document is required to be provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI) to a contractor currently performing an effort in support of the P-3 program. The ARC-243 IRS will be used by the contractor to establish proper interfaces between the radio, the simulated transmit and receive antennas, and the trainer’s host computer. The ARC-243 radio is being installed on the P-3C aircraft, therefore, for the P-3 training devices to remain concurrent with the aircraft, the trainer must have the same radio installed. To properly install the radio on the trainer in a simulated environment the contractor requires detailed interface specifications which can only be found in the ARC-243 IRS. The ARC-243 IRS is a proprietary document owned solely by Rockwell Collins, Inc. therefore no other supplier can provide this information. The government intends to purchase the ARC-243 IRS document with Government purpose rights, which will allow the Government to provide the document to contractors who may require it for future modifications on all P-3C and P-8A training devices. This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. It is a notice that outlines the Governments intent to contract on a sole source basis with Rockwell Collins. However, interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities, and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted by email to Ms. Rebecca Daniels (rebecca.e.daniels@navy.mil) in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2003, no later than the closing date of this announcement. If no affirmative written response is received, the Contract for the ARC-243 HF Radio IRS will be awarded without further notice prior to award.
