- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD) intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to Reliable System Services Corporation (RSS), 746 North Drive, Melbourne, FL 32934 for software testing and upgrades to thirty (30) RT-1944/ /U SeaLancet Tactical Network Radios®. This purchase is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. RSS is the sole developer and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for these items. As such they are the only source with sufficient knowledge of the radio design and functionality to perform the requirement. After extensive testing and trade studies, these RSS radios were integrated into the MVCS Tactical Cabinets which created the baseline system. This system is already installed onboard LCS sea frames. Replacing these units with another product or manufacturer will not only duplicate the effort and delay the delivery of the tactical cabinets due to required testing and studies, integrating a new product could potentially invalidate the testing that MVCS has already completed on the legacy unit. The replacement may also introduce new problems and interface issues. The Government did not purchase or acquire the rights in data and design or a technical data package (TDP) for these RSS items because they are commercial items developed under SPAWARSYSCEN Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) topic N04-078, titled "Specification for the RT-1944U Communications System" dated 20 July 2004 (Contract N6553804M0128). Follow-on orders were not competed. RSS is the only source capable of meeting the requirement. The Request for Quote (RFQ) number is N61331-16-R-0419. This purchase will be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), 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. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract lies solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement. Delivery will be to the Naval Support Activity Panama City, Receiving Officer Building 100, 101 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407-7001 FOB Destination 45 days after award of the order. For information regarding this purchase, please contact the contract specialist, Don McManus, at (850) 235-5392. The NAICS code is 334220 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. FSC R425 applies.
