- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to L-3 Communications, 7640 Omnitech Place Victor, NY 14564-9782 for the purchase of four (4) Hawkeye III Lite, 1.2M Tri-Band VSAT, Part Number: GCS-1512eKX-01T. The purchase is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. The original VSAT terminal was the AN/USC-68A (produced by Rockwell Collins Satellite Communications Systems Inc). However, this system reached end-of-life and a study was completed in FY 11. The Hawkeye Lite III was selected after extensive evaluation of various systems. The Hawkeye III Lite is part of the entire Rapid Response Kit (RRK) and is integral to its operation. The RRK system has received an Approval to Operate (ATO) from Naval Network Warfare Command and has been certified through interoperability certification. Substituting other network components will invalidate the ATO and will invalidate any interoperability certification. To have equipment that is not accredited and to go through another accreditation process is six months for the accreditation package to be granted an Authority to Operate. This would lead to considerable delays and additional costs in the fielding the Rapid Response capability that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Further, this hardware is only available from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and there are no known resellers or distributors. The proposed contract action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Only these items, provided by L-3 have been approved for the Deployable Joint Command and Control (DJC2) use. Offerors wishing to provide responses/comments to this synopsis shall do so via email to Courtney.henslee@navy.mil no later than the closing date of this synopsis. The closing date of this synopsis is 22 February 2013. Delivery shall be FOB Destination required 14 weeks after contract award. The resultant contract will be a firm fixed price purchase order. The Department of Defense will no longer award contracts to contractors not registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Registration may be accomplished by accessing the CCR website at http://www.ccr.gov/. Contract Specialist (buyer): Ms. Courtney Henslee, Code B32, NSWC PCD, 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, Florida 32407 (850) 235-5354, FAX (850) 234-4197, e-mail: courtney.henslee@navy.mil.
