Description
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract modification under contract N0001925C0009 to Lockheed Martin, Orlando, FL, on a sole source basis. This contract will provide F/A-18E/F Infrared Search and Track (IRST) Block II System Surrogate Aft Electronics Assembly in support of Navy Operational Test Program Sets (OTPS). As the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the IRST IRR, IMU, and Processor, Lockheed Martin is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully manufacture the system without causing unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements. Additionally, an award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, "Only One Responsible Source," and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This synopsis is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this synopsis. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. There is no commitment by the Government to issue any solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party before award of a contract for the efforts detailed above. Information provided herein in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.
