- Description
- NAVSEA will utilize other than full and open competition to award a class of contract actions to Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Sensors (LM MS2) in Moorestown, New Jersey (NJ) for the procurement and integration of two (2) Aegis Weapon Systems (AWS) in support of DDG 116 and the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) Host Nation #1 (HN-1), and associated engineering services in support of production efforts. The anticipated contract actions will provide for delivery of two (2) AWS equipment sets, one each for DDG 116 and AAMDS HN-1. The AWS shipset for DDG 116 will include production of selected equipment and integration and system-level testing of the AWS at the Moorestown, NJ Production Test Center (PTC). The AAMDS HN-1 equipment set includes the production of selected equipment and cabinet and sub-assembly level testing of the equipment. Once this testing is complete, LM MS2 will deliver the HN-1 equipment set to MDA as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). LM MS2 will be responsible for production and fabrication of the AN/SPY-1D(V) arrays (4 per shipset), including an integrated Multi-Mission Signal Processor (MMSP), Aegis AMOD Upgrade equipment (AAU), and Combat System Support Equipment (CSSE) for each equipment set. LM MS2 will also be responsible for integrating the DDG 116 Fire Control System MK 99, including the MK 82 Directors and MK 200 Director Controls, and the AN/SPY-1D(V) Transmitter Group delivered under separate contracts into the AWS and performing full functional testing of the complete AWS at the PTC. Once AWS system level testing at PTC is complete, the DDG 116 AWS equipment set will be delivered to the shipyard for installation into the ship. LM MS2 will also be responsible for system engineering and technical services in support of the manufacturing process and ship integration, industrial level testing, and sea trials. LM MS2 is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the Navy ™s requirements for delivery of a complete, fully functionally tested AWS shipset for DDG 116 and AAMDS HN-1 including production of the AN/SPY-1D(V) arrays, MMSP, AAU and CSSE. LM MS2 possesses unique experience in AWS design, development, production, assembly, and testing, and currently provides the necessary services to deliver an integrated and tested AWS to the fleet. LM MS2 also provides installation material, ancillary equipment, provisioning items, administrative data, technical data, and provisioning technical data. As such, LM MS2 understands the system functionality and detailed specifications in order to produce systems that satisfy the AWS requirements and are compatible with existing components and infrastructure of the entire Aegis Combat System (ACS), of which the AWS is one component. All previous AWS production contracts for shipsets and AAMDS equipment have been awarded on a sole-source basis to LM MS2 (or its antecedents). Under these contracts, LM MS2 has developed an extensive infrastructure at its Moorestown, NJ facility to support AWS production. This infrastructure (production facilities, qualified supplier base, special test equipment, data networks, system test environments, producibility engineering workstations, etc.) also supports the separate LM MS2 contractual responsibilities for Aegis development, FMS AWS production, U.S. Navy and FMS in-service engineering, and other depot operations. Because this infrastructure supports other ongoing contractual responsibilities, the Navy could not transfer it to another contractor for performance of these requirements. LM MS2 is the only existing source with the in-depth technical expertise, knowledge, resources, and infrastructure to produce, integrate, and test the AWS without adverse impact to deliveries in support of the USN shipbuilding schedule and ship deployment requirements for operational use, and the Aegis Ashore program ™s initial operational capability (IOC) date of 31 December 2015. For the reasons stated above, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), NAVSEA intends to award a contract for the production, integration, testing and engineering support services for production, integration and test of the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) for DDG 116 and HN-1 to Lockheed Martin Mission Systems & Sensors (LM MS2) in Moorestown, NJ. Parties interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact LM MS2 directly. Notice: The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within forty-five days (thirty days if award is issued under an existing basic ordering agreement) after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice 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. Please review the above description and all comments and questions should be submitted in writing electronically to Ms. Jennifer L. Thompson, Contracting Officer, via email at jennifer.l.thompson1@navy.mil in lieu of telephone calls. Do not phone in any questions or comments, they will not be considered.
