- Description
- THIS SYNOPSIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The Program Executive Officer Land Systems (PEO LS), Marine Corps, Quantico, VA 22134 intends to enter into sole source negotiations and subsequently award a contract to Stratus Systems, Inc. � 7550 Highway 23, Belle Chasse, LA 70037 (CAGE Code: 3AX04). This effort is estimated for award in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 with an approximate period of performance of seven months. The anticipated contract is for the procurement of Emergency Egress Lighting Systems (EELS) kits for the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) program. The EELS is a waterproof, ruggedized system easily mounted to the inside of the AAV Family of Vehicles (FoV) to automatically illuminate the egress points when the EELS is activated either manually or automatically by liquid submersion.� Commonality of the AAV EELS design is vital in meeting the long-term configuration management and supportability of the FoV.� This effort is to purchase 20 EELS kits for fielded AAV systems. The Government has determined that Stratus Systems, Inc. is the only company capable of producing these EELS kits for the AAV program.� The ability to produce EELS kits that meet the required form, fit and function specifications to maintain commonality is dependent upon access to the design and manufacturing specifications to various components, for which the Government has limited data rights. The design and manufacturing specifications for the EELS kits which meet the exact form, fit and function requirements of the AAV are retained by the incumbent, Stratus Systems, Inc. The Government does not own the Technical Data Package (TDP) to facilitate competition. Therefore, PEO LS is currently unable to provide the associated technical data necessary in order to foster a competitive procurement.� Without the TDP, a significant amount of re-engineering would be required by a new vendor to match the existing AAV EELS design. This need for re-engineering and re-testing to re-create a design that exactly matches the form, fit, and function of the existing EELS would be a substantial additional cost to the Government. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A) �Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirement.� Unless stated herein, no additional information is available. Requests for the same will be disregarded. Responsible interested parties may submit a capability statement in which they identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The capability statement must be received by PEO LS within seven calendar days after the date of the publication of this synopsis. The U.S. Government (USG) will consider all information received by the response date. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All submissions become USG property and will not be returned. Contractors are advised the USG will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice of intent. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 335999, All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing. GENERAL INFORMATION:� The information provided herein is subject to change and is not binding on the USG. The USG has not made a commitment to procure any of the supplies or services discussed. This notice should not be construed as a commitment or as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement would be required or sought. All responses to this notice shall be submitted to Ms. Margarita McGinn at guadalupe.mcginn@usmc.mil. Please reference the announcement number on all correspondence. Telephonic responses will not be accepted.
