- Description
- The United States Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency needs. In Accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A) there is only one company uniquely positioned to provide the products and services listed below, without incurring substantial duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Chemring Sensors and electronic Systems, Inc., 23031 Ladbrook Drive, Dulles, VA 20166 to provide engineering changes (development and production) to the Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS). HMDS detects surface laid and shallow buried, metallic and nonmetallic, underbelly attack explosive hazards in support of route clearance missions. It also physically marks the location on the road surface of buried explosive hazards so that another route clearance asset can find and neutralize them. It uses a ground penetrating radar (GPR) to sense the explosive hazards. The following specific engineering changes, to be fully integrated with the current HMDS, are required: supplemental explosive hazard detection capability for HMDS, new 8-nozzle marking subsystem, infrared lights that enhance the Husky driver's ability to see while wearing night vision equipment, new mission computer (controls system detection and marking functions), and cybersecurity protections. Please note that the full technical data package for HMDS is not owned by the Government and so it cannot be made available to the Offeror. This is not a request for competitive proposals. However, this notice does function as a Request for information (RFI) for offerors who believe they can meet the Government's requirement. Any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency, only if received by the closing date and time of this notice. Offerors shall be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses to this notice. Offerors must detail their knowledge and experience integrating with and modifying the HMDS GPR system or comparable GPR system. Offerors that cannot provide sufficient detail on their knowledge and experience with such GPR modifications will not be found capable. Offeror experience, personnel, existing facilities (R&D and production), and other relevant capabilities should also be identified. The capability statement, proposal, or quotation shall be no more than 15 pages and be prepared in Microsoft Word, Times New Roman font, size 12. Responses should also include the information described below: 1. A point of contact for the Offeror that will include: the contact's name, address, website (if available), phone number, and email address. In addition, please provide a Cage Code and DUNS Number. 2. Statement as to whether the Offeror is considered a small or large business. If the Offeror is a small business, please indicate any socioeconomic classification (8(a), Woman-Owned, Veteran-Owned and Operated, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Operated business, or HUB-Zone) that applies. 3. Does the Offeror intend to be the Prime or a Subcontractor? If the Prime, continue to Question 4. 4. Is the Offeror currently providing similar services to another Government agency or other non-Government customer? If so, please identify the agency or non-Government customer. If unwilling to share the customer's identity, please address whether the Offeror offers the same or similar products commercially (outside the federal Government.) If the Offeror elects to identify past and current customers to which the Offeror provided similar services, include the customer company's name and point of contact, phone number and mailing/email address where they can be contacted, and a brief description of products/support provided. (Provide the requested information for up to five (5) projects the Offeror/team has performed within the past five (5) years.) 5. THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ONLY APPLY TO SMALL BUSINESS RESPONDENTS. Responses to the below questions shall be included in a separate section of the submission and will not be counted as part of the (15) page limit. a. If the Offeror is a small business and plan to be Prime please inform how the Offeror will meet the limitations on subcontracting Clause 52.219-14? b. If the Offeror is awarded the contract, will the Offeror be able to perform at least 50% of the work required in house? c. The Government understands that teaming is an intricate part of contracting. Please briefly describe the approach to be used in selecting team members for this requirement if the Offeror will not be performing this action 100% in house. d. Does the Offeror possess an approved Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) accounting system? e. If the Offeror is a small business, can the Offeror sustain operations if Government payments are delayed by up to 90 calendar days?
