- Description
- This Sources Sought notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 206.302-1(d). The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Lakehurst Contracts Office intends to award a five (5) year fixed-price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract for the procurement of Motorola APX and SRS series subscriber units and components (consolettes, call boxes, and consoles) on a sole source basis with Motorola Solutions Inc. (Motorola), (CAGE 78205); Columbia, Maryland. The Navy has standardized its Enterprise Land Mobile Radio (ELMR) network on the Motorola ASTRO 25 Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) trunking radio system. All existing XTS 5000 Series subscriber units and associated components currently in use throughout the Navy's ELMR network will reach end of life in 2015 and are no longer manufactured by Motorola. This requirement is for the replacement of this obsolete equipment. This equipment does not operate as stand-alone equipment; rather, it operates as part of a wider integrated Navy ELMR infrastructure, which is based upon the utilization the Motorola ASTRO25 IV&D trunking radio system. Only Motorola equipment (subscribers, dispatch consoles etc) is 100% compatible within the infrastructure of the existing system. The subscriber units and associated components to be replaced under this action are required to be interoperable and interchangeable with the current ELMR system infrastructure while providing the same Dynamic System Resilience (DSR) and Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) capabilities. The DSR and OTAP technologies are proprietary to Motorola and it is the only manufacturer capable of providing both voice and data over the existing Motorola ASTRO 25 IV&D trunking radio system. The OTAP capability has not been standardized between manufacturers equipment and is not interchangeable or interoperable within the existing infrastructure of the ELMR system. Therefore all radios used on the worldwide ELMR network must utilize Motorola proprietary OTAP technology to be fully managed and reprogrammed over the air. THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR COMPETITVE PROPOSALS. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304(C)(1), as implemented in FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government will consider all responses received to this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. No solicitation will be available for this procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract.
