Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, Florida, intends to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract for continuation of basic research for the development of unique mathematical and statistical algorithms on a sole source basis to Raytheon Company, 1847 West Main Road, Portsmouth, RI, 02871-108750. A five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract is anticipated. The contract will be cost reimbursable, with provisions for both completion form and term form delivery orders. This acquisition is not suitable for full and open competition because only Raytheon Company has the unique knowledge base, facilities, and experienced personnel necessary to successfully conduct the work. The Raytheon Company key personnel have invested over four years in gaining the unique knowledge, insight and necessary skills . Additionally, the baseline algorithms developed by Raytheon represent many work-years under other Raytheon Company/DOD contracts and Raytheon Company s own independent research and development (IRAD). The algorithms are very sophisticated and require specialized knowledge to use properly, thus, another contractor can not easily or cost effectively duplicate them. Note 22 applies.
