The Government is seeking information from vendors with the capabilities and facilities for the Rear Steering Assembly testing, tear-down, evaluate, overhaul and repair, in support of the USMC ITV Program. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a firm-fixed indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with a five year ordering period on a sole source basis to STAZWORKS, W8827 Chicadee Rd, Merrillan, WI 54754 (CAGE Code: 788L3)for an estimated contract ceiling amount of $1M. 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 due to the unique technical design and application of this system, the rigorous testing and qualification requirements for this system, the duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays for fulfilling this requirement through any other source. The Government is seeking information from companies mitigating the sole source basis listed above. The Government is seeking companies with the capabilities and facilities to provide perform the testing, tear-down, evaluation, overhaul/repair, test and possibly supply new replacement rear steering systems for integration into the Prime Mover (PM) and Light Strike Vehicle (LSV) variants of the ITV or performance on other Government contracts with similar efforts. 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 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, production quantity breaks, 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.
