- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The General Services Administration intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Logicon Northrup-Gruman located in Middletown, Rhode Island for a Hydrophone Support Electronics (HSE) signal processing capability upgrade for FACSFAC DET SCORE's Southern California ASW Range (SOAR). The SOAR facility is used by the US Navy to conduct anti-submarine warfare (ASW) training utilizing a mix of air/surface tracking systems and underwater tracking with a highly sophisticated hydrophone array. The range routinely supports air, surface, and subsurface unit level torpedo firing exercises as well as inner and middle zone battle group training. The signal processing upgrade will enable more sophisticated, real time, 3-dimensional acoustic tracking of surface ships, submarines and torpedoes. This signal processing upgrade will be implemented in the near future and will be based on an architecture which has already been designed and tested by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Newport Rhode Island, which is DOD's Technical Direction Agent for underwater range capabilities. Logicon's SHARCPAC Carrier Board Assembly (part number 50225Assy04943511 Rev A) was developed to specifically address the unique requirements of the design being utilized for SCORE's new Hydrophone Support Electronics Signal Processor architecture. The hardware specified above has been previously supplied by Logicon Northrup-Gruman. To maintain consistency, eliminate additional testing, and maintain multi-range compatibility, Logicon Northrup-Gruman is the only source of supply for this product and is solely capable of responding to ongoing support requirements. The proposed action is for supplies/services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The government believes that only one responsible source can provide the supplies/services that will satisfy the agency requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes but responses received before December 17, 2001 will be evaluated. A determination by the Contracting Officer not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information should be submitted to GSA/FTS, Attn: Joe Pechinko, Contracting Officer, at (858) 537-2219 or via e-mail at joe.pechinko@gsa.gov
