Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE, NOT A REQUEST FOR A QUOTE (RFQ). A RFQ WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND QUOTES WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. NSWC, IHEODTD Indian�Head, intends to award a contract on a noncompetitive basis to BAE Systems for the following: HES 5808 Propellant This action is to be undertaken in accordance with FAR 13.106 (b) Soliciting from a single source, on the basis that the vendor is the only known source capable of meeting the government�s requirements. HES 5808 propellant is widely used in CAD/PAD inventory. The propellant will be used in the production of M91, M93, M73, and F-15 canopy remover catapult. The mentioned cartridges were qualified to use the HES 5808 propellant and currently BAE Systems is the only manufacturer of the propellant and owns the Intellectual Property (IP) rights. At this time, there are no feasible alternative because of the high cost and time required to re-qualify these items using an alternative propellant. HES 5808 has been used for over 50 years. Replacing this propellant would increase the life-cycle cost of the end items, which would not be beneficial for the Department of Defense (DoD). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is # 325920 � Explosives Manufacturing This Notice of Intent is not a request for quotes. Information received from interested parties will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses to this electronic notice must be made by 8:00 am EST on 26 March 2020. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Interested parties shall e-mail all statements, quotes, and capabilities to Krystal Murphy, via email: krystal.murphy@navy.mil and must provide clear and concise documentation indicating a vendor's bona fide capability to provide these services.
