70 -- 1 EA DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND TESTING OF A MODIFIED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (DAS-II) SPECIFICATIONS LISTED IN ITEM 17 SOL N61331-95-R-0040 DUE 050595 POC James McCaffery, Contract Specialist, (904)235-5910 Carol Dreger, Contracting Officer, (904)234-4863. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Coastal Systems Station (CSS), Panama City, Florida, is soliciting TEK Microsystems, Inc. on a sole source basis for a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract to provide the design modifications to an existing electronic Data Acquisition Systems (DAS), fabrication and testing of the modifed DAS to function as an improved interface between analog sensors and a digital data link. The modifications to the DAS will consist of a change to the number of analog input channels, a reduction in the physical size of the unit, and modification of the proprietary system software to enhance system functionality. TEK Microsystems, Inc. is uniquely qualified for this effort having developed the original DAS for CSS under contract N61331-92-C-0069, which was awarded competitively to TEK Microsystems, Inc. as the only technically acceptable offeror. Under this contract, considerable resources and knowledge have been developed by TEK Microsystems, Inc. in the areas of remote data links and the required software which could not be replicated by another activity. TEK Microsystems, Inc. is uniquely qualified to support the modification to the DAS because they have the unique knowledge base, the facilities, and the experienced personnel necessary to successfully conduct the work. The key personnel have invested over two years in gaining the unique knowledge, insight, and skills necessary. It is certain that award of this modification effort to any other vendor would result in significant and substantial duplication of invested costs as well as costly and protracted startup phase. Direct expressions of interest in obtaining this solicitation in writing should be addressed to Mr. James McCaffery, Code SC12, Coastal Systems Station, 6703 West Highway 98, Panama Ctiy, FL 32407-7001.
