The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within thirty days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency
As the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the AARGM missile, ATK DES is the only source that currently possesses sufficient requisite knowledge, engineering expertise, aircraft integration information, and technical data required to perform these efforts. AARGM is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III effort, and therefore the Government does not have sufficient data rights to support a competition for the efforts described in this notice. No other source has the technical qualification and necessary resources to perform the work described herein, nor will any other supplies or services satisfy the Government's requirements. Subcontracting opportunities should be sought directly from ATK DES.
