Description

This is published as a brand name sole source announcement under the statutory authority at 10 USC 2304(c) (1), and regulatory authority at FAR 6.302-1(c), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, Application for Brand Name Description. The Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Division E, Tobyhanna Branch, Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), Tobyhanna, PA 18466 intends to solicit and award a firm-fixed priced contract for Brand Name only; EMCORE OPTIVA Fiber Optic equipment manufactured by EMCORE Corporation (EMCORE), 2015 Chestnut Street, Alhambra, CA 91803. EMCORE is the sole designer and developer of the OPTIVA Fiber Optic equipment. The Brand Name EMCORE OPTIVA Fiber Optic equipment is required for use in the Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) Prototype Integration Test & Training (PITT) facility modification/upgrade project. The brand Name EMCOR OPTIVE fiber optic equipment is required to facilitate the proper integration with EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment already utilized in the field by Air Force Wideband Enterprise Terminals (AFWET) agency personnel. AFWET Fiber Optic equipment is located inside the Strategic Site's Electronic Enclosure Buildings (EEB). The required integration is in support of the Modernization of Enterprise Terminal Installations. The EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optics equipment under went approval and certification processes for use through Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), as well as Program Management Wideband Enterprise SATCOM Systems (PMWESS), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and Army Strategic Command (ARSTRAT) who must also approve the use of the fiber optic equipment. Based on the previous costs and time incurred to obtain the approvals and certification of the EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment, it is estimated that approval and certification of fiber optic equipment from any other manufacturer would cause an unacceptable delay of 6-8 months and cost the Government an amount exceeding the estimated cost of this acquisition. It is critical that commonality of fiber optic equipment be maintained between TYAD PITT facility, TYAD designed Satellite Communications Terminals such as the AN/TSC-86F(V)2 and fiber optic equipment currently utilized by AFWET to ensure consistency and the ability to properly integrate communications equipment located in both the terminal and EEB. TYAD Technical experts have determined if any equipment, other than EMCORE OPTIVA fiber optic equipment were to be utilized, integration with the Air Force Wideband Enterprise Terminal System (AFWET) fiber optic equipment would be costly and require a lengthy approval and certification process. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals for other than the Brand Name EMCORE OPTIVA Fiber Optic Equipment. Any responsible firms believing they can provide a product that is certified and approved for integration in the TYAD PITT facility, should within ten (10) days of this notice, contact in writing the Contract Specialist identified below, and submit a capability statement describing the product's capability to meet the Government's requirements, which will be reviewed for consideration.
