Description

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement to procure Test Program Sets (TPS) and Automated Test Equipment (ATE) to support depot repair testing of AN/ZPY-3 Multi-Function Active Sonar (MFAS) Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRAs). New TPS and ATE solutions will streamline multiple configurations and mitigate Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) for legacy TPS solutions. The new TPS solutions will support organic depot level repair for applicable AN/ZPY-3 MFAS SRAs at the government-designated location defined herein as Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE). This effort provides for all non-recurring engineering to manufacture and develop applicable TPS software and hardware and hosting ATE. The following table shows the list of SRAs that will require the contractor to deliver a complete list of TPS and the associated ATE for.

This effort includes the acquisition of ATE, ancillary equipment, and the development and delivery of one set of TPS hardware for each of the 15 required SRAs identified in the table above.



The proposed contract action is for the procurement of supplies which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation 1580 W Nursery Road, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090 under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) (statutory authority 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1)), only one responsible source. The requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because Northrop Grumman Systems Corp is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and they are unwilling to sell the complete data package to the Government to allow for full and open competition. In addition, parts from any other vendor would result in extensive duplication of costs to include re-engineering, re-certification, environmental qualifications to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements through any other source.



All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of re-evaluating the justification for sole source or limitation of sources and making a determination to change the acquisition strategy to a competitive procurement. Solicitations and amendments for this sole source action will not be posted to sam.gov and are available only from the POC identified below.



Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Joint Certification Program (JCP) in order to receive the controlled attachments. Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov Information about the JCP is located at https://public.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/PublicHome/jcp/default.aspx.



Questions or inquiries should be directed to Elizabeth Hacker, Code 0233, telephone 812-381-5170, e-mail elizabeth.m.hacker3.civ@us.navy.mil. Please reference the above solicitation number when responding to this notice.
