Synopsis: The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD intends to negotiate and award a sole-source, Cost Plus delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00421-06-G-0006 with Rockwell Collins of Cedar Rapids, Iowa to procure a rehost of CDU-900 control software on the EA-6B Improved Capability (ICAP) III Block 4 T/M/S to a Rockwell-Collins Control Display Unit (CDU) 7000 as well as integration of Navy CNS/ATM CDU-7000 based Required Navigation Performance/Area Navigation (RNP/RNAV), Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), Mode S and Mode 5 common software applications. In addition, this procurement includes functional qualification testing in support of the resulting CDU-7000 software. This delivery order covers just the Non-Recurring Engineering effort for the software integrations; it does not include the purchase of the CDU-7000 hardware itself. The existing CDU-900 control software provides cockpit interface for control and display of mission capabilities including Weapons system control, Digital Flight Control Systems (DFCS), and Communications Control. This control software will be imported to run within an Application Program Interface on the CDU-7000. The Government does not possess the rights to rehost the CDU-900 control software for the purpose of modifying, updating and maintaining the USN/USMC control software into any device other than a Rockwell Collins device. As the designer, developer, and OEM for the CDU-7000, Rockwell Collins is the only company that has the ability, resources, technology, and documentation necessary to modify, develop, produce, maintain, and support these systems. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The estimated period of performance is 24 months beginning after contract award. This is not for introduction of new common cockpit systems into existing platforms.
