- Description
- The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to negotiate with Leidos, Inc. on a sole source award for the procurement to create new theoretical models and simulation tools critical to the rapid and cost-effective development of new Vacuum Electronics (VE) and other devices to meet the needs of the Navy and the DoD. The scope of this work includes theoretical and experimental VE research required to create new simulation tools; maintain and/or expand the functionality of existing/developmental NRL design codes; and create or analyze novel passive and active device designs. Leidos is the incumbent. The two prior contracts were the result of proposals the incumbent proposed in response to a Broad Agency Announcement. They are the only company who has been performing this effort, and, as such, are the only company that has the unique, specialized skills that are required to meet the requirement. The new contract will be a follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly specialized services. It is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements and substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. As a result, it has been determined that Leidos, Inc. is the only one who can satisfy agency requirements. The regulatory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposal. However, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a proposal. All responses received by 1:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time, on January 17, 2017, will be considered. Responses and capability statements shall be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist, Jim Thomasson at jim.thomasson@nrl.navy.mil. Telephone requests for additional information will not be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Other business opportunities for NRL are available at our website http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/rfplist.htm.
