Richardson, Contract Specialist, (904)234-4302 Carol A. Dreger,
Contracting Officer, (904)234-4863. Coastal Systems Station, Dahlgren
Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City, FL, intends to
award a sole source contract to Nortel Limited, Inc. for the
acquisition of two tow cables for the AN/AQS-20 prototype system. The
AN/AQS-20 will be used to support airborne mine countermeasures
operations. The tow cable is used to deploy, tow, and recover the towed
body from a helicopter using a winch/davit subsystem. The cable
contains three fiber-optic signal conductors, hard fairings, and load
carrying armor. The cable also includes an electro-optical connector(s)
and mechanical terminations on both ends. As the cable designer, Nortel
Limited is the only company which has all of the resident knowledge
required to provide cables which meet all of the Government's
requirements. The Government does not own the technical data package
for the tow cable. The cost of this one-time sole source procurement is
significantly lower than the cost of acquiring the technical data
package and preparing a competitive acquisitions package. The point of
contact for this action is Joyce Richardson, phone: (904)234-4302,
fax: (904) 234-4251. Note 22. (0309) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0195 19961105\61-0003.SOL)
