Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN, intends to award a firm-fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with a five year ordering period to SWEET MANUFACTURING INCORPORATED, 3421 South Burdick Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49001 (CAGE Code: 7LSQ9) for an estimated contract ceiling in the amount of $750,000. 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 to mitigate the sole-source basis listed above.

All interested parties are encouraged to submit their company and product information, a technical white paper response no longer than (5) pages, and/or other pertinent information such as technical capability, current availability and any examples of similar workload. These responses and information should address this requirement and will mitigate the reason for the Government to procure this requirement on a sole-source basis.
