Description

This requirement is for engineering services and support, design and development, production and production support services, and maintenance and repair efforts for the Department of Defense Shipboard System Trainers (SST) Program, all components thereof and all related interfaces. The estimated value of the proposed acquisition is $29 million over a five-year period. This estimated amount represents requirements for FY 02 through FY 07. The solicitation will be issued on a sole source basis to AAI Corporation on or about 18 June 2001 and close on or about 18 July 2001. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a), it has been determined the supplies and services can only be met by one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. AAI is currently providing the needed services, components and related interfaces under Basic Ordering Agreement N00164-99-G-0013 awarded on 30 September 1999 on a sole source basis with a $9.9 Million ceiling, which is nearly utilized. AAI is the only source with the capability to provide all the engineering services and support, continued design and development, production, maintenance and repair efforts for the Shipboard System Trainers (SST), all components thereof and all related interfaces under this contract. Due to proprietary information and rights to hardware modules and equipment specifically designed to interface with specialized radar and fire control System, no other source is capable of providing the required hardware to maintain the Shipboard System Trainers. There would be duplicative cost to the Government to utilize another source to satisfy the Government's requirement. NAICS Code 334511.
