The Government has no rights to the data that would be required to support development by another company. Any attempt to reproduce this item from any other source other than Baron Services, would require that the Government re-qualify the part at considerable cost to the Government whose cost saving could not be recovered. This is a time sensitive requirement and any delay in procuring this part will impart the Radar Operations in the event of a failure. These items are being purchased for the National Weather Service (NWS), NEXRAD program, to be delivered to the National Logistics Support Center, Kansas City, MO. The intended procurement is for supplies for which the Government intends to acquire under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one known source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The unique characteristics and physical form of these items make them the only acceptable parts. Because the design is the intellectual property of Baron Services, the Government does not have access to the specific design features. The Government has no design rights to the items and does not possess the drawings that specify the parts. The NAICS code for this requirement is 334220. The proposed contract action is for services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by closing date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
