- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award a firm fixed price, sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c) (1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Reference Number is HSCG23-12-I-2DA056. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to award a contract to Rastergraf, Inc., 1804 SE 1st Street, Suite D, Redmond, OR 97756-8645: Nomenclature Part Number Quantity PMC Graphics Controllers AC7-00712-2517 10 This quantity of PMC Graphics Controllers is required to support the production of Mission System Pallets (MSP) 13-20. Future MSPs, if required, will include requirements for refreshing the technology to update obsolescence such as these PMC Graphics Controllers. The PMC Graphics Controller is a component within the Video and Mission Processor (VAMP) Chassis which provides interconnection between the Mission Processor Storage Device and the Circuit Card Assemblies which provide the image and processing of the operator's interaction with the cockpit display. This component is in limited production by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Medium Range Surveillance Aircraft's Mission System Pallet (MSP) has software that currently runs on components within the VAMP, one of these components is the PMC Graphics Controller. No other controller will work in this configuration without cost-prohibitive software changes. The MSPs have a mission processor called the Video and Mission Processor (VAMP). The VAMP contains a slot for the PMC Graphics Controller. This software/hardware combination of the MSP helps the operator interact with the Common Operating Picture (COP) and flight management station and performs mission functionality. Because different controllers would require software modification, testing for approval of the Authority to Operate (ATO), and the need to maintain two software configurations, the only controllers that will satisfy the USCG's need is the Rastergraf, Inc's PMC Graphics Controller (Part AC7-00712-2517). The OEM, Rastergraf, is no longer producing this controller for mass commercial distribution. The component is considered End of Life. The only known available retailer of this component is the OEM. The proposed contract action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals. Offerors that believe they can provide the required items must provide the Contracting Officer a written statement that they can provide the items within 90 days of award. Reference Solicitation HSCG23-12-I-2DA056. This announcement constitutes the only notice of intent to award a firm fixed price, sole source contract and a written solicitation will not be issued. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Questions concerning this acquisition may be directed to Jon T. Meagher (jon.t.meagher@uscg.mil) at 202-475-3773 or Orie T. Davis (orie.t.davis@uscg.mil) at 202-475-3425.
