- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate a cost plus fixed fee (CPFF)/firm fixed price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with a five (5) year ordering period on a sole source basis with Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. (CDA) headquartered in San Diego, California.� This contract is for recurring and non-recurring engineering (NRE), logistics, repair of repairables, peculiar ground support equipment (PGSE), software updates and improvements, engineering change proposals, and interim spares to sustain the MH-60S Full Motion Video (FMV) KnightLink system required by the NAVAIR Multi-Mission Helicopter Program Office (PMA-299).�� This action is being awarded on a sole source basis to CDA under authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10, U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, �Only One Responsible Source and No Other type of Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements,� because CDA is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the KnightLink system. CDA developed the FMV KnightLink system and was awarded the contract for NRE development with follow-on production options, solicited under full and open competition under contract N00019-19-C-0025 in support of PMA-299. They are the only source with the requisite skilled personnel having the technical data, experience and knowledge of the design, fabrication, and production of the KnightLink system to perform these efforts in a timely and cost effective manner.� There are no provisions for initial sparing under the current production contract; therefore, based on the initial sparing posture needed to support fleet introduction, the Government intends to procure initial sparing under this effort to avoid the additional costs associated with performing the NRE and procuring the requisite data rights to produce the needed spares. CDA has previously developed the necessary PGSE that will support the KnightLink system, which may alleviate the cost and time of developing a similar solution with an alternate vendor. Note:� The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302.� Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.� The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as the work listed requires a substantial initial investment.� However, any capability statements received by the close of the synopsis may be considered by the Government.� A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Ms. April Winter at (858)505-2703 of Cubic Defense Applications, Inc. (CDA).
