- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) intends to issue a modification to contract N00019-09-C-0057 to Elbit Systems of America, LLC (ESA) to add digitization and encryption/decryption capabilities to the Tactical Video Data Link (TVDL) system necessary to support the United States Marine Corps AH-1W Cobra aircraft. The current AN/ACQ-9 TVDL system is fielded and operational on the AH-1W; however, it is an unencrypted analog system. Tactical video sources are evolving from the analog data links towards encrypted digital links to prevent interpretation by hostile forces. The AH-1W TVDL capabilities need to evolve to continue to be effective and interoperable in the battlespace; therefore, this procurement will result in the retrofit of the AH-1W with upgraded TVDL systems, incorporating the new capability to receive and transmit digital and encrypted video data. This procurement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2), in that ESA is the original equipment manufacturer. ESA is the only known company with the knowledge, data, and capability to manufacture these systems. This notice is for informational purposes only. For subcontracting opportunities, please contact Terry Bevel, Subcontracts Manager at 682-286-2089 or Terry.Bevel@elbitsystems-us.com. Note: 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. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within forty-five days (thirty days if award is issued under an existing basic ordering agreement) after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procuremen
