The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for laser tracking system software development. The compliant service is available solely from the Ocean Visibility and Optics Lab at HBOI-FAU. The NAICS code is 541990 with a size standard of $16.5 million. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to the Ocean Visibility and Optics Lab at HBOI-FAU. The proposed action is for the Ocean Visibility and Optics Lab at HBOI-FAU to develop underwater laser tracking software, 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: there is no other research facility with the expertise and facilities to perform this service. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to the Ocean Visibility and Optics Lab at HBOI-FAU using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 11:00AM 13 November 2019. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 11:00AM on 11/13/2019 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.
