- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Air Traffic Control Systems Division, Code 4.11.1 intends to award a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) on a sole source basis to Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), 444 Salomon Circle, Sparks, NV 89434, for a period of five (5) years. This requirement is a follow-on procurement with an estimated award date of 1 April 2015. The primary effort is the modification, design, development, repair, replacement, upgrade, and support of electronic components associated with Precision Approach Landing Systems (PALS). Examples of PALS electronic components are the AN/SPN-46(V), AN/SPN-46(V) Radar Control Group Unit 19, AN/SPN-46(V) Receiver, AN/APN-245 Radio Beacon Set, and the AN/SPN-35C Radar. The Contractor develops modifications for PALS equipment to improve reliability, overcome obsolescence, and increase system longevity for fleet usage. Work performed under this BOA shall include furnishing PALS parts, components, assemblies, and material. A list of the equipment to be supported is provided below. NOMENCLATURE · AN/SPN-46(V) Precision Approach Landing System · AN/SPN-42T4 Precision Approach Landing System (Trainer) · AN/SPN-35C Aircraft Control Approach Central · AN/SPN-41/41A/41B Aircraft Approach Control Transmitting Set · AN/ SPN-43C Radar Set · AN/APN-245 Radio Beacon Set · Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) · Mobile Approach Towers The proposed action is for services and supplies 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 requirements". SNC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the major components of the currently fielded equipment and as such holds multiple data right to various components of the PALS radar system. Only SNC possesses the technical expertise, special tooling, and data to successfully design modifications and upgrades and repair associated parts for complex PALS equipment. Additionally, SNC has personnel that are experienced with PALS flight control algorithms. Because of the low population of PALS systems and the high cost of system testing and certification to ensure safety of flight for the war fighter, validation of a new contractor would be cost prohibitive. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, responsible interested parties may submit a proposal in which they identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider all information received by 5 December 2014. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for any information received. Facsimile responses are acceptable. For information, contact Sharina Miller, Code 2.5.1.4.12, Telephone (301) 737-7591, FAX (301) 995-1156, or via e-mail: sharina.miller@navy.mil.
