- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando intends to award a delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N61340-12-G-0001 to L-3 Communications Corporation, Link Simulation and Training Division (L-3) for the development and delivery of the L3 specific sensor models (e.g. - APG-73 RADAR, and Electro-optical Infrared (EO/IR) to TOFT 125, located at the Integrated Battlespace Arena (IBAR) at NAWS China Lake, CA; and for the development and delivery of upgrades to communications (COMMS), Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS), and Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) capability to all F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Tactical Operational Flight Trainers (TOFTs). As the current designer, developer, integrator, manufacturer, and supplier of a substantial share of the F/A-18 C-G TOFT hardware and software components, L-3 is the only company capable of delivering the current US Navy F/A-18E/F and EA-18G TOFT COMMS, MIDS, FST, and sensor models upgrades in the appropriate timeframe to meet these requirements. Award to any other contractor would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that would not be recovered through competition and would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling F/A-18 and EA-18G mission training requirements. This is a notice that outlines the Governments intent to contract on a sole source basis with L3. However, interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit detailed technical capabilities, ability to obtain FA-18 and EA-18G aircraft elements and simulation technical data, and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted by email to Ms. Alyssa Ocasio (Alyssa.Ocasio@navy.mil) in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2003, no later than 19 Feb 2016. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than TEN (10) pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This synopsis is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, the Contract for the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G TOFT NASMP NSF-1 will be awarded without further notice prior to award. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C.(c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). Matters pertaining to this notification may be directed to Alyssa Ocasio at 407-380-4034 or via email at Alyssa.Ocasio@navy.mil.
