- Description
- Sources Sought (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: (Christina Martin/408 SCMS/GUEA) TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers of NSN 5865-01-531-9953EW for the ALQ-172 Countermeasure System. 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 ALQ-172 LRU-12, NSN 5865-01-531-9953EW. ITEM DESCRIPTION The LRU-12 is part of the ALQ-172 Countermeasures set. ALQ-172 system will not function without use of the LRU-12 (Transmitter) functions. Harris Corporation (CAGE: 28527) is the only approved source for the current configuration LRU-12. Impediment to Competition: Harris Corporation is the original designer and developer of the AN/ALQ-172 Countermeasures System and there is less risk in cost and scheduling by going to them. They did the redesign for the LRU and are currently the only qualified source. It would take time for another vendor to become familiar with the ALQ-172 system before the vendor could begin development. As a result Harris Corporation is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the LRU-12 performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Harris for the manufacture of the LRU-12s in support of the ALQ-172 system. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 17 July 2017 to Patti Campbell at patti.campbell@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.
