This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The combined synopsis/solicitation is issued as a sole source Request for Proposal (RFP) under solicitation number W58RGZ-11-Q-0383. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-38 effective 01 February 2010 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Document Change Notice (DCN) current to 20100305. This procurement is being conducted pursuant to FAR 6.302-1 for other than full and open competition to VT Miltope, 3800 Richardson Road South, Hope Hull, AL 36043. The associated North American Industrial Classification Systems (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334111 with an associated small business size standard of 500 employees. New equipment ONLY, NO remanufactured products, and no "grey market". Offerors must be registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Only qualified offerors may submit quotes. This acquisition is firm-fixed-price. The Product Directorate for Aviation Networks and Mission Planning (PD ANMP) team requires six (6) each RLC-3G ACU for the Kingdom of Sweden aviation units FMS Case SW-B-WAD to support their purchase of UH-60M helicopters through PM Utility. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 entitled "Only One or a Limited Number of Responsible Source and No Other Type Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The proposed acquisition requires the use of the authority cited based on the following: a.) The AMPS as stated in the Letter of Offer and Acceptance signed by the SW Government, dated 30 September 2010 refers to the entire mission planning system. Four (4) AMPS were recommended, with an option for an additional six (6). SW opted for four (4) computers plus two (2) computers from the option, for a total of six (6) computers. The components of AMPS are listed in TM 1-7010-386-12&P P/N 1004008. Specifically, the ACU is identified as Part Number 1005487-2, which corresponds to the VT Miltope RLC-3G ACU. b.) The RLC-3G ACU is manufactured and available only from the proposed contractor, VT Miltope, Cage Code 54418, 3800 Richardson Road South, Hope Hull, AL 36043. VT Miltope is the only source capable of providing the capabilities as they are the developer of the RLC-3G ACU. VT Miltope has proprietary rights on the RLC-3G ACU design, functions and critical operational capabilities. The proposed contractor possesses the only existing database, proprietary software source code, special tools, equipment and facilities capable of fulfilling this requirement. VT Miltope's unique position comes from being the designer, developer, and sole producer of the ACU. c.) The Government does not possess the technical data required by other contractors, or the Government, to manufacture the ACU. d) VT Miltope maintains the exclusive engineering expertise, design and configuration data, proven production capability and experience and the test and qualification data associated with the ACU. No other manufacturer has the design information or technical data required to produce the system. As the developer and sole manufacturer of the ACU, they are the only contractor capable of producing the required product. Based on the above rationale, the determination has been made that there are no other sources capable of providing the equipment referenced above. Packaging will be standard commercial packaging.
