- Description
- The U.S. Air Force Global Positioning Systems Directorate intends to procure spare parts for SV1-2 and reprice long lead parts for SV5 under the existing GPS Block IIIA contract. (Although the contract, as awarded, included pricing for long lead parts for SV5 and 6, the contract must now be restructured to permit the Directorate to acquire long lead parts for SV5 separate from those needed for SV6.) These parts include, but are not limited to, attitude control system assemblies, UHF receive cylinders, pyro cartridges, relays, battery cells, solar array yokes/booms, circuit card assemblies, transistors, transformers, plexers, crystal oscillators, atomic frequency standards, feed support panel, UHF beamforming network, cable cutters, diodes, solar array cells, propulsion tanks, inductors, single board computers, amplifiers, oscillators, antenna elements, hinges, solar array drive assemblies, capacitors, solar array substrates, transducers, on-board computer, integrated circuits, hybrids, filters and field programmable gate arrays. These parts must satisfy all requirements in the existing GPS IIIA contract (e.g., Technical Operating Reports 4430/4432) and be delivered to the Directorate not later than 23 December 2011 for SV1, 23 December 2011 for SV2 and 8 May 2016 for SV5.. Accordingly the Government intends to award a sole-source contract modification to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, 100 Campus Drive, Newtown, PA 18940, as it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements (10 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(1) & (d)(1)(B)(ii). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this action is 336414. The small business size standard is 1,000 employees. Statement of Capabilities All responsible sources capable of meeting the Government's requirements detailed in this notice must submit a Statement of Capabilities and Qualifications Statement to the technical and contracting POCs listed below by 1700 PST on 9 December 2010. Responses are limited to five (5) 8.5" x 11" pages with 1" margins and 12 point font (Arial or Times New Roman ok) and number pages. The capability and qualifications statement will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining the offeror's ability to meet the Government's needs described above. Consequently, the Government is primarily interested in responsible sources providing specific technical details indicating how that source can meet the Government's needs. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Responses from small business and small, disadvantaged business firms are highly encouraged. Firms responding should indicate if they are a small business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, 8(a) firms, historically black colleges or universities, and minority institutions. A determination not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis is solely within the discretion of the Government. Submit Statement of Capabilities electronically to francis.whalen@losangeles.af.mil and Barbara.baker@losangeles.af.mil, or Statements of Capabilities may be mailed to SMC/PK, Attn: Frank Whalen, 483 N. Aviation Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245-2808. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from potential offerors. The purpose of the ombudsman is to receive and communicate concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to communicate its concern during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The ombudsman will communicate certain offeror issues, disagreements, and recommendations on this acquisition to the proper channels. The ombudsman's role is not to diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer, but to advocate an offeror's concern on a non-attribution basis. The ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern when requested by the offeror. The ombudsman is Mr. James Gill (310) 653-1789. Questions pertaining to this announcement shall be directed to the Contracting Officer, Frank Whalen, SMC/PK at (310) 653-3397 or by email at francis.whalen@losangeles.af.mil.
