- Description
- This announcement constitutes a Notice of Proposed Contract Action (NOCA), by the Battle Management Directorate, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Hanscom AFB, MA, for a noncompetitive contract for the CSEL CLS Follow-On effort to be negotiated with The Boeing Company of the United States. The CSEL Program is an ACAT III, post-milestone C program. CSEL is an end to end survival radio system composed of three segments: a user segment that includes a hand-held radio (HHR), an over-the-horizon segment for satellite communications (OTH), and a ground segment consisting of multiple Command, Control, and Communications (C3) workstations (RSA) located in Joint Personnel Rescue Centers (JPRCs). The three CSEL system segments collectively provide global communications (including worldwide secure, two-way data communications) between an isolated person (IP) and personnel recovery elements. The CSEL radio provides survivor location and authentication by passing individual identification codes, geo-positioning information obtained from GPS satellites, and both predetermined and free text messages over the horizon via UHF or national systems. CSEL is a 15-year-old joint program utilized by the US Army, Navy, and Air Force. The maintenance and repair support for HHRs is conducted at Boeings supplier production facility. Boeing also utilizes other Boeing-owned and Government furnished test equipment and fixtures. The Government does not possess a second set of GFP to provide to another contractor and will not be able to transfer the equipment to a new contractor at the time that the follow on contract is awarded. This synopsis is for a proposed contract, IAW FAR 5.201(b)(i), for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source IAW 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Please direct any question regarding this synopsis to Contracting Officer, Ms. Allison DeSimone, 781-271-3524 or Capt Paul Park, Contract Specialist, 781-271-7186. This synopsis is for planning purposes only, and does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). Nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. The information you provide may be evaluated to identify qualified potential offerors. AFLCMC will not release to any firm, agency, or individual outside the Government, any information marked with a proprietary legend without the written permission from the respondent. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to this synopsis, nor will the Government compensate a respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to AFLCMC. An AFLCMC Ombudsman has been appointed to consider and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors and others for this acquisition. Before consulting the Ombudsman concerned parties should first address their concerns, issues, disagreements and/or recommendation to the Contracting Officer for resolution. In addition, AFFARS 5352.201-9101, Ombudsman, will be included in this acquisition's solicitation and contract. The AFLCMC Hanscom AFB Ombudsman can be contacted at: AFLCMC/XZC Mr. Lawrence Coe Bldg 1618, 11 Eglin Street Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-2100 Telephone: 781-225-1740 Email: Lawrence.coe@hanscom.af.mil
