- Description
- The U.S. Army Operational Test Command, Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate (ABNSOTD) intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Task Order contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii) to SRI International, Menlo Park, CA for Sustainment Support and the development and production of a new subsystem of the Airborne Position Location System (APLS). The new subsystem will allow users to enter mission data into a mobile computing device and subsequently import the information into the existing data analysis station. The estimated minimum quantity limit is 3 units and the maximum quantity ceiling is 100 units. The period of performance is two years. The APLS was developed and produced for the U.S. Army Operational Test Command, Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate (ABNSOTD) under contract DATM01-01-C-0006 by SRI International. SRI has had subsequent APLS contracts including W9115U-07-C-0007, W9115U-07-C-0092, W9115U-08-C-0008, and W9115U-10-D-0003 for system sustainment and development and production of new equipment. The Government does not possess the software technical data rights to the APLS software to support a competitive acquisition of the APLS development, production and sustainment. SRI, International is the sole proprietor of the technical and software data of the Government owned APLS units and has been responsible for APLS development, production and sustainment throughout the entire history of the system. To meet mission requirements, the vendor must develop an APLS subsystem using a 'to be determined' tablet to aid in the collection of information during test events and interface with the APLS to incorporate the information for data analysis. The tablet subsystem will provide a specialized interface to enable faster data and information exchange between the user and APLS instrumentation. The NAICS code is 334220 with a size standard of 750. The proposed contract action is for end items for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. 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, the Government will only consider the proposals received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be used only for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All responsible sources may identify interest and capability by responding to this requirement or submit a proposal. All respondents must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), and have a valid DUNS number, Cage Code, and Tax Identification Number. All responses must be written and sent via electronic mail to the Government point of contact for this announcement angelic.m.hatcher.civ@mail.mil. The Government will not accept telephone inquiries or responses.
