- Description
- It is the Government's intent to award a cost plus fixed fee, five year, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity with task orders type contract for the Affordable Phased Array Sensor System (APASS) Program under the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (USA AMRDEC). The AMRDEC seeks innovative technologies to advance capabilities in applied sensors guidance electronics for Radio Frequency (RF) and Millimeter Wave (MMW) technologies. The objective of this development program is to design, fabricate, and demonstrate an affordable, solid-state, form-factored all-weather Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA)-based seeker with the capability to engage ground targets, cruise missile, UAV, and rotary aircraft threats, and to serve as a building block for radar system development that could serve surveillance or fire control functions. The proposed period of performance is from 28 February 2013 through 27 February 2018. Based upon market research, the Government is not utilizing the policies contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12. Authority cited: Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition for the requirement is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by paragraphs 6.302-1 of the FAR, entitled, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." This acquisition will be sole source to Lockheed Martin Corporation, 5600 W Sand Lake Rd MP-265, Orlando, FL 32819. Lockheed Martin possesses a unique capability for the specific sensor component design and test requirements involved with this acquisition. Consequently, they are the only source known to the Government at this time that is currently capable of resolving technological problems with sensor system prototypes that may arise during development and testing given their previous successful performance in design, demonstration and development of thermal management techniques. Lockheed Martin is the sole designer and manufacturer of the current prototypes; no other company is known at this time that is capable of performing the unique design, development, integration and test requirements required under this acquisition for phased array sensors of tactical grade quality. Lockheed Martin utilized their own proprietary data/processes to design and develop this emerging technology; therefore, Lockheed Martin is the only source currently capable of providing the specialized design, development, integration and test for continuing development and modifications to this unique and proprietary concept. EXPORT CONTROL WARNING NOTICE: "WARNING - THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS TECHNICAL DATA WHOSE EXPORT IS RESTRICTED BY THE ARMS CONTROL ACT (TITLE 22, U.S.C. SEC 2751, ET SEQ.) OR THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT OF 1979, AS AMENDED, TITLE 50, U.S.C., APP 2401 ET SEQ. VIOLATIONS OF THESE EXPORT LAWS ARE SUBJECT TO SEVERE CRIMINAL PENALTIES. DISSEMINATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROVISIONS OF DOD DIRECTIVE 5230.25." Formal communication related to this acquisition should be directed to Adam Kimbro. You may fax or mail your request ATTN: CCAM-RDB, Adam Kimbro, Contract Specialist, US Army Contracting Command-Redstone, Building 5400, Fowler Road, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898; Email: adam.m.kimbro.civ@mail.mil, Fax Number: 256-876-7737. No telephone requests will be accepted. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which will be considered.
