- N00164-18-S-NB17- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)/SOURCES SOUGHT - DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, ASSEMBLE, TEST, PRODUCE, DELIVER AND SUPPORT THE EA-18G EXTENDED LOW-BAND RADOMES (GELBRs) - FSC 5865 - NAICS 334515 Issue Date: 8 NOV 2017 - Closing Date:20 NOV 2017 - 2:00 PM EDT REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) - The Government is issuing this RFI/sources sought announcement as part of market research for design, manufacture, assemble, test, produce, deliver and support the EA-18G Extended Low-Band Radomes (GELBRs) for O-level NAVAIR support. Quantities required are estimated to be a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 65. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a sole source contract to the original equipment manufacturer of the EA-18G Extended Low-Band Radomes (GELBRs), CPI Radant Technologies Division, Inc., Stow, MA 01775-1446. 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 to the CPI Radant Technologies hardware is to avoid duplication of cost and additional delays (estimated to be two years) in delivery of the items. It is estimated to take approximately two years to build first articles and complete destructive testing on them, along with completing a thermal survey and RF range characterization and range correlation at an estimated cost of $1,823,916. In accordance with Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 206.302-1, the Government is accepting information from companies potentially capable of meeting the requirements as described above. Companies with the capabilities and facilities to that would enable them to meet the Government's requirements may respond. Responses shall address how the respondent proposes to design, manufacture, assemble, test, produce, deliver and support the GELBRs and overcome the time delays and cost associated with the tasks described in the preceding paragraph. Responses shall include availability, budgetary cost estimate, and lead time of the solution. All interested parties may submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 5 pages, and/or other pertinent information, such as a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, a budgetary estimate of test articles, and an explanation as to why the Government should not procure this effort on a sole source basis as stated above given the estimates of duplication of costs and time delays. Responses to the Market Survey shall include the following: Submitter's Name Street Address, City, State, Zip Code Business Size Point of Contact (POC) POC Telephone Announcement Number: N00164-18-S-NB17 Please include the purpose/explanation of the response to the Market Survey, i.e. to better understand the Government requirements; to potentially become a viable source for future requirements; to take exception to the anticipated sole source as your company currently meets all of the Government requirements and can successfully offset the projected cost duplication and schedule delays. The Government may contact RFI respondents to get clarification on the information submitted. Contractors must be properly registered in the Government System for Award Management database (SAM). Contractors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation of requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220, or via the internet at www.sam.gov. At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This RFI/sources sought does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The US Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. Market Survey information may be submitted to the Point of Contact (POC) any time prior to the expiration of this announcement. The POC for this effort is Mr. David Stuffle david.stuffle@navy.mil or 812-854-5550.
