- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, Florida intends to issue a sole source firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to QinetiQ, Inc. (the U.S. branch of QinetiQ, Ltd.), 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1102, Arlington, VA 22202-4344 for the purchase of up to five (5) new Advanced Reconnaissance System (ARS) Electro-Optic (EO) Sensors (part number 10010319) to include repair of the sensors that are or will be deployed to the fleet. The contract period of performance will be five years and will provide for firm fixed price delivery orders. This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons: The ARS Electro-Optic sensors, along with its interface to the system it is installed on are based upon proprietary information developed by QinetiQ. Sole proprietorship restrictions are specific to the problem of producing an image sensor that meets the required environmental and size constraints imposed by the system integration. As the sole developer and original equipment manufacturer (OEM), QinetiQ Inc. is the only source with sufficient in-depth knowledge of the EO sensor that could fabricate the parts, conduct repairs and deliver on schedule. Currently, no other source meets the form, fit, and function requirements for the ARS Electro-Optic Sensor. Alternative known Sensors would require development and extensive engineering and environmental testing efforts, which would not meet the known deliverable dates for procurement. Delivery will be made to the Receiving Officer, Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City FL 32407. Delivery will be made to the Naval Support Activity - Panama City, 101 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7018. Interested Offerors may submit request(s) for qualification on future requirements via e-mail to Contract Specialist “ Tim Reed at tim.e.reed1@navy.mil by 22 January 2013. Requests must be marked with the synopsis designation number and should include the offeror ™s name, address, telephone number, commercial and government entity (CAGE) code, point of contact, and clearly identify the offeror ™s capabilities. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely with the discretion of the Government. FSC Code: 5999 NAICS Code: 334511, Small Business Size Standard: 750 employees.
