- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command Picatinny, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of PM Soldier Weapons, intends to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B). The anticipated effort requires the development of two (2) Automated Test Sets (ATS) to determine their effectiveness and suitability to diagnose Line Replacement Units (LRUs) failures for the -01 and -03 Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS). KDAs CROWS are a proprietary design and no other contractor could provide these alterations and analysis without obtaining KDAs proprietary data. KDA is the sole contractor possessing the ability to provide alternate configurations, variants, and improvements to the CROWS systems without introducing significant cost, schedule, technical, and safety risk to the program. These additional risks for another contractor to obtain the proprietary data necessary to perform this task are considered unacceptable. Please notice that this notice does not constitute a Request For Proposal (RFP). A determination by the U.S. Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the U.S. Government. The anticipated award timeframe for this action is 3QFY11.
