66 -- FORWARD AREA COMBINED DEGAUSSING AND ACOUSTIC RANGE (FACDAR) MAGNETIC SUBSYSTEM SOL N00167-99-R-0002 DUE 103098 POC Mr. Scott Sentz, Contract Specialist, Code 3324, (301) 227-5822/Contracting Officer, Renee Cairo-Iocco The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) intends to procure through other Than Full and Open Competition a total of two (2) each of the Forward Area Combined Degaussing and Acoustic Range (FACDAR) Magnetic Subsystem (MAGSUB), plus optional related equipment, under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program for the country of Egypt. The FACDAR MAGSUB system is a transportable range which includes the capability to measure and process magnetic signatures, and to accurately track vessels while their signatures are being measured. The FACDAR MAGSUB will consist of eight (8) triaxial static magnetic sensors with hydrostatic pressure sensors. The sensors are placed in separate non-magnetic mounts. The topside equipment will include sensor power supplies, range computer system, FACDAR MAGSUB software and data acquisition hardware, and range computer interface. The MAGSUB shall be transportable by land, sea, air or rail (LSAR) in customized ISO size IC shipping containers. The base requirement consists of the FACDAR MAGSUB System (2 each), spare parts packages based on requirements for 90-days and 2 years, and various data requirements. Optional requirements, which NSWCCD anticipates to procure, include training, integration support services, extended 12 month warranty, DGPS hardware system, sensor location system, magnetic modeling software, titanium connector upgrade, and an additional array for the FACDAR system. NSWCCD intends to procure the base and optional requirements, through Other than Full and Open Competition, with Ultra Electronics Ltd. Magnetics Division, Staffordshire, England WS125QZ, under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program for the country of Egypt. Ultra Electronics was the subcontractor who provided the Magnetic Subsystem (MAGSUB) portion to the original FACDAR contract N00167-95-C-4010. The MAGSUB procured for this requirement will be a near identical system as that originally provided for the FACDAR contract N00167-95-C-4010 (exceptions include the elimination of the GPS Clock and Microway Number Smasher, replacement of Pentium 90 MHz with 400 MHz or higher and use of Pentium II technology, Windows 98 or NT, and the inclusion of DGPS Software Upgrade). Consequently, the FAR cite supporting Other than Full and Open Competition is FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
