- N00164-15-S-NB50 - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION / SOURCES SOUGHT - AN/SPS-73 CCA AND POWER PC UPGRADE AND REPAIR - FSC 5840- NAICS 334511 Issue Date: 19 MAY 2015 - Closing Date: 02 JUN 2015 - 4:00 PM EDT REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) / SOURCES SOUGHT- The Government is issuing this RFI/sources sought announcement as part of market research for evaluation, repair, and/or upgrade of Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA) consisting of Radar Data Extractor Module (P/N 1721817-102), Radar Data Extractor Module (P/N 1721818-102), two versions of the Radar Control and Converter - CCA (P/N 1720575-102 and P/N 1220575-103), and two versions of the Power PC (CUS/VGM1-S420EBPUVXRX and CUS/VGMD-S540QCSNBNNB1-PU32-VXRX) in support of the U.S. Navy AN/SPS-73 navigation system. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN 47522 intends to award a sole source contract to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Raytheon Company, 1847 West Main Road, Portsmouth, RI 02871-1087, (CAGE 94404). This effort will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, restricted software rights, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source. The duplicative cost and delays are attributed to reverse engineering the Raytheon Company's AN/SPS-73 navigation system components, developing specifications, developing drawing package associated with the physical properties of the system and underlying components, soliciting competitive offers and awarding to an alternate source, development, production, system integration and operational test verification. The Government is seeking information from companies mitigating the sole source basis cited above. Companies with the capabilities and facilities to provide components that meet the Government's requirement and qualification requirements for repairs and upgrades for the AN/SPS-73 Circuit Card Assemblies and Power PCs may provide information to indicate their intent and capability. Responses should include availability, budgetary cost estimate, and lead time of the solution, as well as, whether a demonstration unit can be provided to expedite the Government decision making process. All interested parties are encouraged to submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 5 pages, and/or other pertinent information, such as a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, a budgetary estimate of test articles, production units, and production quantity breaks to mitigate the reason why the Government should not procure this effort on a sole source basis as stated above, and /or identify other Government contracts with similar efforts for the Government's consideration. Responses to the RFI Sources Sought Market Survey shall include the following: Submitter's Name Street Address, City, State, Zip Code Business Size Point of Contact (POC) POC Telephone Announcement Number: N00164-15-R-JQ84 Please include the purpose/explanation of the response to the Sources Sought Market Survey, i.e. to better understand the Government requirements; to potentially become a viable option for future requirement; to take exception to the anticipated sole source as your company currently meets all of the Government requirements. The Government may contact RFI respondents to get clarification on the information submitted. Contractors must be properly registered in the Government System for Award Management database (SAM). Contractors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation of requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220, or via the internet at www.sam.gov. At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This RFI/sources sought does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the Government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The US Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. Market Survey information may be submitted to the Point of Contact any time prior to the expiration of this announcement.
