- Description
- Sources Sought (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Michelle Privette, 408 SCMS/GULB TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers 5963-01-362-9731EW and 5955-01-362-4598EW SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the ALR-56M Non-crystal Oscillators and Frequency Converters, 5963-01-362-9731EW and 5955-01-362-4598EW. ITEM DESCRIPTION The ALR-56M Advanced Radar Warning Receiver (ARWR) continuously detects and intercepts Radio Frequency (RF) signals in certain frequency ranges and analyzes and separates threat signals from non-threat signals. It displays threat signals to pilot on a priority basis and provides efficient and effective logistical support to the using command activities for the system. The ALR-56M Non-crystal Oscillators and Frequency Converters are critical application items within the overall ALR-56M System. Impediment to Competition: Government does not own Source Control Drawings (SCDs) or level III engineering drawing. We have configuration control but we do not have an adequate data package for competition. Both repair and production are currently accomplished by L-3 Communications Corporation. Research has identified L-3 (cage 99899) as the only currently qualified source listed on the source control drawings with the unique experience, expertise and relationships to satisfy the Government's requirements of this highly specialized item. The government does not possess the detailed engineering information that would enable a new vendor to successfully develop a production and testing methodology for these items. The fact that the Government does not possess a full data package precludes a full and open competition for the production of items. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to L-3 Communications Corporation for the manufacture of ALR-56M Non-crystal Oscillator and Frequency Converter 5963-01-362-9731EW and 5955-01-362-4598EW. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 20 April 2017 by emailing Michelle Privette, michelle.privette@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
