- Description
- The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office intents to solicit on an other than full and open competition basis a requirement for a Surrogate UAS (a manned system that replicates an unmanned aircraft system) in order to support the Joint Unmanned Aircraft System Center of Excellence as it seeks to meet all the USJFCOM requirements for its joint training related responsibilities. The focus of this initiative is on sensor, voice, and data communication capabilities replicating those provided by Joint UAS and to provide a training capability to the exercised units at the CTCs. The contractor shall retain title to the surrogate UAS (to include the aircraft and all equipment) at all times. The surrogate UAS (to include the aircraft and all equipment) shall be under the control of contractor personnel at all times. The contractor will be required to provide and operate the surrogate systems. The surrogate UAS to support the first training event will be the base requirement and the surrogate systems to support the subsequent events will be options. The base requirement is in support of a training event to take place in April 2011 in Bridgeport, CA. The resultant contract will include four (4) options for surrogate unmanned aircraft systems to support for training events in Ft Irwin, CA in June 2011, Bridgeport, CA in June 2011, Ft Irwin, CA in August 2011, and Ft Polk, LA in September 2011. The procurement is being processed through other than full and open competition pursuant to the statutory authority of Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 - a sole source acquisition under the authority of the test program for certain commercial items, as implemented by FAR 13.501(a) and 15 U.S.C. 657f as implemented by FAR 19.1406. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Coastal Defense, Inc. for this requirement. Coastal Defense, Inc. is the only known service disabled veteran owned small business source. It is expected that this procurement will result in the placement of a single FFP contract using the simplified acquisition procedures of FAR PART 13.5. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by the specified response date. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals. However, the Government will consider information received by the specified response date. Information received as a result of this notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for information submitted in response to this notice. The NAlCS code for this requirement is 488190, and the small business size standard is $7,000,000.00. Interested parties are solely responsible for monitoring the above mentioned website for posting of the solicitation and any amendments thereto. The solicitation response date is tentative and subject to change. The Government point of contact for this effort is Mr. Sean McGinley who can be reached at (215) 697-5025 or via e-mail at sean.mcginley1@navy.mil.
