N0016421Q0059 – SOLE SOURCE – CABINET AND ASSEMBLY – FSG 3990 - NAICS 332999 ISSUE DATE 21, Jan 2021 – CLOSING DATE 26 Jan 2021 – 12:00 PM Eastern Time ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a quantity of ten Cabinets with assembly for the AN/SAY-3 EO/IR Sensor System (I-STALKER) Program in accordance with (IAW) attached Specification for use in the AN/SAY-3 EO/IR Sensor System (I-STALKER) approved configuration; and IAW NSWC Crane DWG No. 8808611, I/O Panel. The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, A&J Manufacturing Company, 14831 Franklin Ave, Tustin, CA 92780-7217, under the authority of FAR 13. This is being sole sourced because The procurement specialist following FAR 8.002, 8.004, and DFARS 208.002 screened Mandatory Sources and was unable to find a vendor with the ability to provide requirement. A&J Manufacturing Company is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Cabinets used and fielded in the AN/SAY-3 EO/IR Sensor System (I-STALKER). A&J Manufacturing owns the data rights to the drawings for the Cabinets used in the I-STALKER System. A&J Manufacturing is not willing to sell the data rights to its drawings to the Government for the purpose of procurement from other sources. This Cabinet has been environmentally tested by the Government and is only available from the OEM. The Government owns the rights ONLY to the Drawing No. 8808611 for I/O Panel labeling, hole cutouts, and paint masking (attached) that will be applied as a modification to the cabinet assembly. The Cabinets provided previously by A&J Manufacturing for the I-STALKER Program have previously passed Environmental Quality Testing (EQT) performed by the Government for all EQT standards in the Specifications. This action cannot be competed because if the cabinets were purchased from another manufacturer at this point, after the Government has performed EQT, new environmental testing would have to be performed on the Cabinets. If cabinets from another manufacturer were procured, system integration, test, certification and complete EQT on the Cabinets would have to occur. This would take between 9-12 months and $256,000 in test plan development, testing and qualification based on the cost already applied to this design. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation 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.
