The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit for a brand name Intel Corporation of Santa Clara, California Cage 4BA62, under the authority of FAR 13.5. This is being solicited on a brand name only basis because Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. LTd. (Rafael) is the manufacturer of the Toplite EOS, which is also called the MK48 MOD0 and MOD1. Although Rafael is not the manufacturer of the MK 38 GWS, the Toplite EOS is a part of the MK38 GWS System and Rafael is the only source with the technical expertise to provide a change to the current design which currently incorporates the aforementioned Intel Pentium processors. A change of the current processor would involve the technical activity conducting discussions with Rafael regarding acceptability of an alternate processor in regards to performance, mechanical, and electrical requirements, as well as development of requirement documentation. The requirements documents, reviews of requirements with alternate vendors, and concurrences of any acceptable proposed modifications to the requirements in using an alternate processor is estimated at 720 labor hours in requirement documentation. 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.
