- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Joint Munitions & Lethality ContractingCenter, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of PM Soldier Weapons, intends to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source modification to contract W15QKN-07-D-0018 with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) to increase the maximum hours by 3,100 hours for Fielding and Operational Support. This modification is planned to be initiated in first quarter Fiscal Year (FY) 2011. Throughout the entire contract performance, KDA has been the prime contractor and responsible for designing, developing, integrating, testing, and providing Fielding and Operational Support for KDAs CROWS. Since contract award, KDA has delivered Fielding and Operational Support to support military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Further, KDA is the sole contractor possessing the ability to continue delivering Fielding and Operational Support to meet the demand of the CROWS without introducing significant cost, schedule, technical, and safety risk to the program. KDAs CROWS are a proprietary design; no other contractor could provide Fielding and Operational Support without obtaining KDAs proprietary data. Acquiring Fielding and Operational Support from a source other than KDA will not allow the capability to meet the system performance requirements and immediate Fielding and Operational Support. Only a sole source acquisition to KDA will meet the immediate Fielding and Operational Support schedules required. Any other type of acquisition will result in unacceptable delays and deliveries well beyond the immediate need. Please note this notice does not constitute as a Request For Proposal (RFP). A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The anticipated award date for this action is the 6th of October 2010....
