- Description
- Naval Air Warfare Center, PMA-266, intends to issue a new contract to Raytheon Corporation on a sole-source basis due to only one known responsible source who can meet the requirement until the full scope of the requirement can be solicited competitively. The contract action will provide a transition from the obsolete Solaris operating system to the Linux operating system, support the Solaris system through the transition, and support the hardware requirements for the Government integration efforts. The Contractor shall be responsible for: • Obsolescence Sustainment for the Solaris baseline • Tech Refresh Development for the Linux baseline • Hardware Architecture support for the Linux baseline • Integration of Improvements and Capability (IIC) to the TCS Linux Baseline • Integration of Capability to the VTUAV System via Rapid Deployment Concept (RDC) • Research and Development (CRAD) Studies Although more than one source may be able to fulfill the requirement, this would create substantial duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through a competition for the short term extension of services. Raytheon Corporation is currently responsible for TCS modifications and is considered the subject matter experts. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement. FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii)(A), states services may be deemed to be available only from one responsible source when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. All inquires and concerns must be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Sara Quesinberry at sara.quesinberry@navy.mil or call (301) 757-5931. Responses to this notice must be submitted by 3:00pm EST 12 December 2011. A determination not to compete this requirement is within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in a future competition.
