- Sources Sought Template (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Michelle Privette, 408 SCMS/GULB TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers 5963-01-362-9731 and 5955-01-362-4598 SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the ALR-56M Non-crystal Oscillators and Frequency Converters, NSNs 5963-01-362-9731 and 5955-01-362-4598. ITEM DESCRIPTION The ALR-56M Advanced Radar Warning Receiver (ARWR) continuously detects and intercepts Radio Frequency (RF) signals in certain frequency ranges and analyzes and separates threat signals from non-threat signals. It displays threat signals to pilot on a priority basis and provides efficient and effective logistical support to the using command activities for the system. The Non-crystal Oscillators and Frequency Converters are critical application items within the overall ALR-56M System. Impediment to Competition: The Government does not own, or have unlimited rights to, the technical data for these NSNs. Further, the Government does not possess the detailed engineering information that would enable a new vendor to successfully develop a parts list and testing methodology for the production of these items. The program manager contacted the OEM via email on 24 November 2015 to inquire into their willingness to sell the technical data package to the Government, and at what cost. A response stating that they would be unable to sell the technical data package was received on 4 January 2016. Market Research identifies L-3 Communications Corporation (Cage code 99899) as the only source available with the unique experience, expertise, equipment and facilities necessary to satisfy the Government's requirements. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to L-3 Communications Corporation in support of the Weapon System installed on the F-16C/D and C-130J aircraft. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 31 August 2016 by emailing Michelle Privette, michelle.privette@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
