- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC) - Picatinny, on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Weapons, intends to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source modification to contract W15QKN-08-D-0454 with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) to increase the contract ceiling for purchasing an additional five Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) Desktop Training Systems. This modification is planned to be initiated in fourth quarter Fiscal Year (FY) 2011. Throughout the entire contract performance, KDA has been the prime contractor and responsible for providing training support for KDAs CROWS. Since contract award, KDA has delivered training systems to support military pre-deployment operations. Further, KDA is the sole contractor possessing the ability to continue delivering training systems to meet the demand of the CROWS without introducing significant cost, schedule, technical, and safety risk to the program. KDAs software is a proprietary design; no other contractor can provide a training system without obtaining KDAs proprietary data. Acquiring a training system from a source other than KDA will not allow the capability to meet the system performance requirements and immediate Fielding and Operational Support. Only a sole source acquisition to KDA will meet the immediate Fielding and Operational Support schedules required. Any other type of acquisition will result in unacceptable delays and deliveries well beyond the immediate need. Please note this notice does not constitute a Request For Proposal (RFP). A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The anticipated award date for this action is 01 Sept 2011.
