Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane’s requirement for the procurement of organic repair services and supplies for sustainment of the Toplite Electro-Optic Sights (EOS) in support of the US Navy and Coast Guard. In effort to continue supporting the Toplie EOS intermediate and depot level repairs, this action will include requirements for Configuration Management, Configuration Identification Base Line requirements, Reliability / Maintainability, Reliability Data, Shop Replaceable Units (SRU) and Line Replaceable Units, (LRU), repair fixtures, Repair of Repairable, Field Repairs / Technical Assists, Travel, Acceptance Test Plan, Test Procedures, Training and Training Support, Course Curriculum Training Materials, Technical Data, Engineering Drawings, Supply Support, Monthly Status Reports, and data deliverables for the Toplite EOS. The Government anticipates awarding a 5-year, Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. An estimated contract value of $73,000,000 for the Toplite EOS sustainment on a sole source basis will be awarded to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Ltd. (Rafael), Derech Akko, P.O. Box 2250, Haifa, 000031021, Israel, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” The Contractor shall deliver the spare parts FOB Destination, NSWC Crane, Crane, IN. This is being sole sourced because Rafael is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and holds proprietary rights to the data and drawings for the Toplite EOS. Supplies and services coming from another manufacturer would require additional time for reverse engineering of parts and qualification testing to ensure the parts are compatible. This would cause detrimental delays of the repair time, and a duplication of cost that the Government is not expected to recover through competition.

Request for proposal will not be made available through http://www.sam.gov. The request for proposal will be provided to Rafael through electronic mail. The proposed noncompetitive contract action is anticipated to be awarded under FAR Part 15, contracting by negotiations. The anticipated contract action award date is 11 May 2023. Responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Ltd. (Rafael), Derech Akko, P.O. Box 2250, Haifa, 000031021, Israel directly.
