Dreger, Contracting Officer, (850)234-4863 The Coastal Systems Station, Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, intends to acquire from Lockheed Martin on a sole source basis a cost-plus-fixed fee Contract for a follow-on to Contract N61331-97-C-0006. Lockheed Martin is uniquely Qualified for this effort having been awarded a contract based on their proposal submitted in response to NSWC Surf Zone technology and Obstacle Clearance BAA N61331-96-R-0024, Subject area 2: Marking of lanes or obstacles by unique methods. This proposed contract extends the analysis of the Precision Assault Navigation System (PANS) performance with the Gulf Range drone Control Upgrade System (GRDCUS) based Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) hardware under different scenarios. A test will be designed and conducted to demonstrate the PANS performance. Data collected during the test will be analyzed. This action is unsuitable for full and open competition. Any other contractor would have to duplicate Lockheed Martin's efforts under the previous contract and understand how the GRDCUS functions prior to being able to perform the proposed efforts. GRDCUS was developed by Lockheed Martin. The period of performance for this contract is six (6) months. Note 22 applies. (0111)
