A Solicitation will NOT be posted to SAM.gov due to its sole source nature. The draft agreement will be issued directly to L-3 COMMUNICATIONS INTEGRATED SYSTEMS L.P. (L-3).

ITEM DESCRIPTION– Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for the test, teardown and evaluation (TT&E) and repair of three (3) Wavebuster, Digital Receiver, Part Number (P/N): SK14-0126-4, Serial Number (S/N): 78185990-002, 78185991-002, and 78182978-001, as part of the Joint Signals Processor Version 4 (JSP V4). This is a Job Order (JO) under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), N0016419GJV40 with L-3 COMMUNICATIONS INTEGRATED SYSTEMS L.P. (L-3).

The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, L-3 COMMUNICATIONS INTEGRATED SYSTEMS L.P. (L-3), 10001 JACK FINNEY BLVD, GREENVILLE TX 75402-3119, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)), only one responsible source. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of software documentation, test fixtures/stations and sufficient technical data including quality/performance acceptance test procedures, which prohibit any other source from directly manufacturing Part Number SK14-0126-4. Duplicative cost and delay are comprised from the cost to procure, re-tool, reverse engineer, generate acceptance test procedures, perform first article testing, acquire flight certification, underway for sub-surface platforms, and perform stress analysis, which would take a minimum of three to five years for development, production, and verification. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this draft agreement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
