The Government is issuing this RFI/sources sought announcement as part of market research for an upgrade to Weibel Radar Tracking system, to include AP-700 Upgrade, AP-700UW Antenna Pedestal Technology Refresh for MSL-60037 Doppler Radar; PS-2000B REV1.0 Power supply; D-2100-AW REV 1.02 Display Unit for AP-700; and UPG WinTrack to WinTrack 2012 software license upgrade. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a sole source contract to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Weibel Equipment Inc., 44001 Indian Fields Court, Leesburg VA 20176 (CAGE 1C6G4). This effort will be conducted 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. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, duplicative cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and the unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source.
The Government is seeking information from companies mitigating the sole source basis listed above. The Government is interested in vendors who have performed similar efforts on other Government contracts.
Responses should include availability, budgetary cost estimate, and lead time of the solution, as well as, whether a demonstration unit can be provided to expedite the decision making process.
All interested parties are encouraged to submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 5 pages, and/or other pertinent information, such as a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, a budgetary estimate of test articles, production units, production quantity breaks, mitigate the reason why the Government should not procure this effort on a sole source basis as stated above, and /or identify other Government contracts with similar efforts for the Government(s) consideration.
