Agency and Contracting Activity: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Coast Guard (USCG), and, Command, Control, and Communications Engineering Center (C3CEN), proposes to enter into a contract on the basis of other than full and open competition. 2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved: The USCG began a HF Hi-Power Re-capitalization effort which requires a version Upgrade to the RT-2200 Receiver/Exciter. The part number change of 822-0906-002 to 822-0906-003 for the RT-2200 Receiver/Exciter changes the DSP, (Digital Signal Processor) card due to obsolete parts. The DSP card for the 822-0906-003 receiver/exciter is not compatible with the 822-0906-002 version. The DSP card for the 822-0906-003 is the only version of the card that Rockwell/Collins currently produces. Full name and address of the proposed contractor Rockwell/Collins, Inc. 400 Collins Road, NE Cedar Rapids, IA 52498 Cage Code# 13499 3. Description of Supplies/Services: The USCG intends to Upgrade the RT-2200 part number 822-0906-002 to the RT-2200 part number 822-0906-003 to resolve a compatibility issue in the DSP receiver card. In order to accomplish the required upgrades, a Firm Fixed Price type contract will be placed with the sole supplier of the RT-2200 Receiver/Exciter. The period of performance will begin from date of award through no more than 12 months thereafter. The required upgrade will allow the USCG to complete the transition from currently outdated versions of the RT-2200 to the newest version. The Base Requirement is for 11each RT-2200 Units to be Upgraded, with the Option for up to an additional 6 each RT-2200 Units to be Upgraded. Estimated Cost per Unit to be Upgraded is: $4,500.00 4. Identification of Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition: The statutory authority permitting for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1) implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 titled "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". 5. Demonstration That the Nature of the Acquisition Require Use of the Authority Cited: The use of FAR Subpart 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements", is supported based upon the following: Rockwell/Collins is the sole supplier and proprietor of the RT-2200 Receiver/Exciter, which includes the detailed drawings, schematics and working knowledge of current configuration and technical requirements to accomplish the version upgrade. Rockwell/Collins has Proprietary Data for the RT-2200 Receiver/Exciter that no other known Contractor has. 6. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable: A RFQ shall be posted on FED-BIZ-OPS, this RFQ will include the Statement that any Qualified Offeror that feels that they can provide the Service as Required may provide a response to the RFQ as posted and all Responses/Offers will be considered by the USCG/Government. 7. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable: As compared to previous Service Contracts for the Upgrade of these RT-2200 Units. 8. Description of Market Research: Due to this System is to be in place for another 10 Years, Market Research was not conducted at this time. 9. Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition: The RT-2200 Receiver/Exciter is part of the 00069-URG-III(V), High Frequency Communications system currently deployed at the Coast Guard Communication Area Master Stations (CAMS) and nine Coast Guard Communication Stations (COMMSTAS). The version upgrade does not simply involve changing the two DSP card assemblies. It requires additional changes to the Audio I/O assembly and the firmware, after which each upgraded 822-0906-003 Receiver/Exciter must be re-tested, re-certified and re-nameplated. The upgrade ensures all RT-2200 versions are identical, current and compatible with all deployed 00069-URG-III(V) systems in accordance with good configuration management practices. 10. A Listing of the Sources, if Any That Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition: None at this time. 11. A Statement of the Actions, if Any, the Agency May Take to Remove or Overcome Any Barriers to Competition Before Any Subsequent Acquisition for Supplies or Services Required: The existing system has been in service over 6 years. The upgraded system will last approximately 10 more years. Requirements to recapitalize the system at this point will be completed in accordance with FAR Part 6- Competition Requirements, Subpart 6.1 Full and Open Competition. Contracting Officer's Certification: I certify that the data supporting the recommended use of other than full and open competition is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Contracting Officer Date JAMES A. LASSITER 05/04/2011 Technical/Requirements Personnel Certification: I certify this requirement meets the Government's minimum need and that the supporting data, which forms a basis for this justification, is complete and accurate.
