- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City, FL intends to award a sole source contract to Northrop Grumman Corporation, Airborne Ground Surveillance and Battle Management Systems Integrated Systems Division, Melbourne, FL for the engineering design support to improve the Airborne Laser Mine Dectection System (ALMDS). The ALMDS is a lidar Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) high area coverage system that detects, classifies, and localizes floating and near-surface moored sea mines. The system represents a capability that does not exist in the current Mine Countermeasures (MCM) inventory. This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. Northrop Grumman Corporation is and has been the sole developer of the AN/AES-1 ALMDS system since the competitive award of the SD&D phase contract. There have been no other contractual actions related to the SD&D phase awarded since this contract. Given the complexity of the system and the ! level of system knowledge required to work through the SD&D it is reasonable to assert that Northrop Grumman is the only source possessing the expertise, internal technical data, equipment, and experienced personnel necessary to successfully produce the systems. There are no other possible sources that can satisfy this requirement without significant additional cost, significant schedule risk and significant technical risk to the Government. Contract Specialist: Mary F. Hines, Code XPS1, NSWC-PC, 100 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, Fl 32407-7001, email ?mary.f.hines@.navy.mil. The NAICS is 541710, Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees, the FSC is R216. Note 22 applies. A contract will be awarded on the basis of the proposal submitted in response to the RFP on or about Feb 05.
