- TTNT Presolicitation Synopsis Added: Mar 29, 2011 Department of the Air Force, Air Force Material Command, AFRL - Rome Research Site, AFRL/Information Directorate, 26 Electronic Parkway, Rome, NY 13441-4114 Contract Officer: Michael Ferenti, (315) 330- 7223, Fax (315) 330-2304, Email Michael.Ferenti@rl.af.mil Contact Specialist: Karl VanDenTop, Phone (315) 330-1777, FAX (315) 330-1794, Email Karl.VanDenTop@rl.af.mil Solicitation Number: FA875010D0042 This is a Presolicitation Synopsis. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. This serves as a "Notice of Intent" of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Information Directorate's intent to issue a modification to increase the maximum ordering amount of the basic contract FA8750-10-D-0042, titled "Tactical Targeting Network Technology Development (TTNTD)" on a sole source basis. The current contract maximum ordering amount is $49.9M and the contemplated maximum ordering amount increase is $35.5M for a new maximum ordering amount of $85.4M. This contract is being performed by Rockwell Collins Incorporated, Government Systems, CAGE Code: 13499. The Air Force plans to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), to increase the maximum ordering amount of the TTNTD contract. Worldwide urgent needs and contingency operations have created contractual demands that exceed the current TTNTD maximum ordering amount. The services provided by Rockwell Collins Incorporated that must continue without interruption include TTNT Terminal builds, upgrades, refurbishment, maintenance, and training to support urgent contingency operations, software configuration management of TTNT waveform software, continued development and qualification testing of TTNT Waveform version 7 software, TTNT Terminal interoperability testing with Quint Networking Technology (QNT) terminals, troubleshooting software and hardware problems, and on-going exercise and demonstration support. Without the capability to obtain these highly specialized services, contingency operations will be jeopardized and TTNT and QNT users will quickly experience mission performance degradation, and possible mission stoppage. The Air Force believes that Rockwell Collins is the only responsible source for continued development of highly specialized TTNT equipment and software for the immediate need of the warfighter, and that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs (which could not be recovered through competition). Technical questions should be directed to the Laboratory Program Manager, Michael Hartnett at (315) 330-4514, email: Michael.Hartnett@rl.af.mil, or Michael Gudaitis at (315) 330-4478, email: Michael.Gudaitis@rl.af.mil. Interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement within 15 days after the publication date of this notice of contract action. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 541712. Responses and inquiries can be mailed to the Contract Specialist, Karl VanDenTop, AFRL/RIKD, 26 Electronic Parkway, Rome NY 13441 or e-mailed to Karl.VanDenTop@rl.af.mil. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
