The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for battery charger kits. The compliant product is available solely from Thales Defense & Security, as the required materials are only available through Thales. The NAICS code is 335911 and the business size is 1250 employees. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Thales Defense & Security. The proposed action is for Thales battery charger kits, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Thales Defense & Security is the only source of the required software support, with no compatible item on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Thales Defense & Security using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:59AM 22 October 2020 This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:59AM on 10/22/2020 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order 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. Inquiries should be directed to both Michael Bonaiuto at michael.bonaiuto@navy.mil and Michelle Siebeking-Knox at michelle.r.knox@navy.mil.
