Description

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to place a sole-source contract with Rite-Solutions, LLC of Middletown, Rhode Island. NUWCDIVNPT requires interim support services until a competitive contract can be awarded. Companies interested in the competitive, small-business-set-aside acquisition should request Solicitation N66604-01-R-1089. Until the contracting officer evaluates the offers submitted under N66604-01-R-1089, Rite-Solutions is the only known source with the expertise and past performance necessary to objectively monitor and assess the development of AN/SQQ-89(V)15 Sensor Performance Prediction Functional Segment (SPPFS) and the development of Sonar In-Situ Mode Assessment System (SIMAS) 6.X. Rite-Solutions will perform these evaluations to determine applicability and/or impact to the SIMAS AN/SQQ-89(V) 6/12 Backfit project, and its interface requirements. In accordance with FAR 9.505-3; whereas this contract provides for the technical evaluation of other Contractors' products or services, the Contractor shall not furnish to the United States Government, either as a prime contractor, as a subcontractor, or as a consultant to a prime contractor or subcontractor, the Sensor Performance Prediction Functional Segment (SPPFS) for the AN/BQQ-89(V)15 or the SIMAS 6.X (except for the interface requirements for the SIMAS 6.X), or their subsystems or components, except that it may participate in related Integrated Product Teams (IPT's). FAR Part 13 will apply. There is no written solicitation for the sole-source acquisition and our department no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form.
