- Description
- The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends utilize other than full and open competition to award a sole source, cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost reimbursable contract to The Boeing Company of Seattle, Washington for the procurement of one year of Communication-as-a-Services (CaaS) network engineering code maturation services. CaaS is a software-defined network that provides provisioned delivery of mission critical data to applications (e.g. users, combat systems, sensors, command and control applications, etc.) based upon configurable policy and reservation-based access controls.� Rather than applications relying on one, single communication resource (e.g. radio/tactical data link) to pass their data, CaaS acts as a broker between applications and multiple communication resources, and uses any combination to guarantee delivery of the transmitted mission-critical data. The anticipated contract is intended to be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) which states �only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.�� SAM.gov is the Governmentwide point of entry (GPE) where Government business opportunities greater than $25,000� including synopses of proposed contract actions, solicitations, and associated information�can be accessed electronically by the public. Disclaimer: The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302.� Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement prior to the response date for this notice.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.� A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This pre-solicitation notice is for information only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts.� The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept, proposals as a result of this synopsis.� If a competitive solicitation is issued in the future, it will be announced via the GPE, and interested parties must comply with that announcement.� The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice.� This is not a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation, and this information is subject to modification and in no way binds the Government to award a contract.
