- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. The related Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) was published on 21 March 2017 under FA8629-17-R-5006. The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/WISK Battlefield Airmen Contracting Office, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, intends to award a sole source contract to ViaSat, Inc., Carlsbad, CA. This proposed action, which will support Battlefield Airmen, is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to procure PRC-161 Hand Held Link 16 tactical data radios, spares, accessories, and associated support for a five year period of performance (POP). The applicable NAICS code is 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The size standard as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is 1,250 employees. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 United States Code (USC) 2304 (c)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). The proposed source is ViaSat, Inc., 6155 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA. The reason for lack of competition is as follows: ViaSat is currently the only responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements for a production-ready, jumpable and dismounted handheld terminal for Link-16 network connectivity. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis. All information submitted should support the respondent's capability to provide the items required, and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. A determination by the Government whether to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses must be in writing, and must provide clear and concise documentation. The Government shall consider responses that are received not later than 5:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday, 5 March 2018. All inquiries and responses may be submitted in writing to amber.taylor.9@us.af.mil, with confirmation of delivery requests directed to: 937-656-8463.
