- Sources Sought Template (Intent to Purchase on Sole-Source Basis) FROM: 638 SCMG/408 SCMS TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Intent to sole-source purchase of NSN: 5998-01-435-4423EW, Integrated Microwave Assembly (IMA) SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Countermeasure Pod's IMA, NSN 5998-01-435-4423EW, P/N: G558307-1. ITEM DESCRIPTION The IMA shall provide RF conversion, filtering, switching, adjustable attenuation, and up conversion. The assembly shall consist of broadband mixers, couplers, filters, switches, and attenuators to be used with 50 Ohm semi-rigid coaxial transmission line in an airborne environment. Impediment to Competition: The qualification requirements for the redesign of the CVR were successfully completed by L-3 Narda-Miteq (Cage 99899) in Sep 2015 and they became the only qualified source to produce the IMA. The internal technical drawings required to build these items are owned by L-3 Narda-Miteq. Because the Government does not own or have access to the internal technical drawings required to build this item, a redesign or reverse engineering effort would be required to award to a vendor other than L-3 Narda-Miteq. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Narda for the manufacture of the Integrated Microwave Assembly (IMA) in support of the AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Countermeasure Pod program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 11 Nov 2015 to darin.crowley@us.af.mil or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
