- Notice Type: Synopsis of Contract Action � JSE VDS J&A Statutory Authority: FAR 6.302-1-10 USC 2304(c)(1)- Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Contract Award Date: TBD Contract Award Number: TBD Synopsis: The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZIEB), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract to Rockwell Collins Inc., 400 Collins Rd NE Cedar Rapids, 52498-0001, for the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) Visual Display Systems (VDS). The contract will be executed by means of other than full and open competition, due to the need to maintain commonality, interoperability and compatibility with the current systems located at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River (PAX River) and already used by the JSE team. Rockwell Collins Inc� has Intellectual Property (IP) rights to the VDS currently in use at PAX River and the Government has no data rights and will not be able to acquire data rights to the VDS. There is an existing VDS used by the JSE at PAX River and Air Force intends to establish a VDS that meets commonality, compatibility and interoperability with the VDS currently used at PAX River. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1) - FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in- ����������(A)Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition; or ����������(B)Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(b)(2).) Rockwell Collin�s closed architecture ensures effective configuration management, systems engineering, design engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance. It is the means by which Rockwell Collins verifies its outputs and design solutions. The functional aspect of configuration verification encompasses all of the test and demonstrations performed to meet the quality assurance sections of the applicable system performance specifications. The performance specifications (hardware and source code) are proprietary to Rockwell Collins.. The government has already invested approximately $10M under Contract Number N68335-16-C-0151 on the VDS system currently used by the Air Force and NAVY at PAX River. It will be a substantial duplication of cost to change the VDS system already in use by the JSE. The Government requests that initial feedback, comments and questions be submitted no later than fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of this notice posted to www.beta.sam.gov. In accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
