Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the NSWC Division Crane. THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CONTRACTORS UNDER N00164-07-D-6686. The Government intends to negotiate a modification to existing contract number N00164-07-D-6686 to increase the ceiling value in order to complete current tasks and related tasking that have been started under this contract. 3 task orders have been awarded to date, with expectation of approximately 1 more award that is a continuation of phased developmental activities in the development of the United States Air Force (USAF) Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Close Air Support System (CASS) software. Efforts include development, prototype, test, deployment and support of software releases that enhance the ability of TACPs to interface both with the ground forces they support and the aircraft conducting air operations, as well as with airspace Command and Control (C2) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) organizations. The existing contractor is Rockwell Collins of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This requirement will be negotiated on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1; Only one responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. The basis for restricting competition is the proprietary software/information and expertise of Rockwell Collins, duplicative cost to the Government that it would not expect to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirement through any other source. No formal solicitation will be issued. All responsible sources may inquire into the specific terms and conditions; such inquiries will be considered by the agency. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Questions concerning this action may be directed to contract specialist Lisa Sandy at telephone (812) 854-8792, email [email protected].
