The previous CBD announcement for the renewal of the MK V SOC Craft, which was posted on 2 February 2000 and appeared in the printed edition on 4 February 2000, is hereby modified. Specifically, the statement that "This is a sole source commercial item being conducted in accordance with FAR 13" is corrected to read, "This is a brand name item only procurement being conducted in accordance with FAR 13.5 and FAR 12." Moreover, the following revised notice is provided: The United States Special Operations Command intends to issue a solicitation on a brand name only basis for two Contract Line Items (CLIN). CLIN 0001 Upgrade 14 existing MK-V Transas Marine Site Licenses for the Mk-V program. This upgrade is to consist of 14 MK-V NaviSailor Backup stations software with dongles and 14 MK-V NaviSailor Network Slave Stations software with dongles. This upgrade will allow the MK-V navigation to continuously operate if the Master station breaks down. All software is to interface with the existing MK-V software and Worldwide Chart Collection. The required telephone technical support for the installation of all 14 systems shall also be provided. CLIN 0002 is an option for an estimated quantity between 1 40 Transas Marine Site Licenses to include software programs that may be configured as a master or stand alone, or backup or slave and Worldwide Chart Collection. The required telephone technical support for the installation of up to 40 systems shall also be provided. Both CLINs 0001 and 0002 shall include the offeror's method of distribution of the quarterly updates. Offers are due by 1700 hours 6 April 2000. A complete description of the requirement is contained in the solicitation. Offers may be facsimiled to (813) 828-7504. Offerors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) to be eligible for award. The reason justifying the brand name only basis is that the Transas Navisailor Navigational Systems were competitively selected for installation on the MK V Special Operations Craft. This system uses a proprietary file compression that allows for rapid scaling of charts. This announcement is only a request for the brand name items identified above. However, all proposals received by 1700 hours on 6 April 2000 will be considered by the Government related to meeting the requirements set forth in the solicitation. Posted 03/20/00 (W-SN436158).
