It is understood that this is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the Internet. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bothell, WA. This procurement is required to support the AC-130J High Energy Laser (AHEL) prototype demonstrator. Lockheed Martin shall provide technical services on the first High Energy Laser (HEL) systems during integration, test, validation, and demonstration events. Lockheed Martin shall provide technical and subject matter expert services for the purposes of repairs, supporting technical roles during integration and demonstration events, and upgrades of the existing HEL Assembly. Contractor support shall also accompany any upgraded or revised HEL Assembly. This will facilitate new technology integration, testing, maintenance, repair parts and upgrades to support the fleet integration and testing requirements within Airborne High Energy Laser (AHEL) BMS program. Lockheed Martin shall provide system upgrades, repairs, travel and technical services throughout the life of the contract. Lockheed Martin is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the AHEL Laser Subsystem currently utilized by the project. Lockheed Martin does not have any authorized or responsible parties that repair their Laser Subsystem, and NSWCDD engineers do not have the proprietary knowledge or expertise to work on this system without direct assistance from the OEM and without risk of damages to the direct system and other subsequent systems dependent on the Laser Subsystem. No other product would meet the form/fit/function required to successfully integrate the laser system into the AC-130. In addition, Lockheed Martin is the only entity that has the highly specialized technical knowledge base to provide upgrades and repairs to existing fielded equipment. This requirement will be solicited in accordance with the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) and FAR Part 6.302-1(a) (2) (iii), "Only One Responsible Source." Only Lockheed Martin Corporation has the specialized knowledge and expertise to support this effort. However, responsible interested parties may submit a proposal which identifies their interest and capability. This notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Lockheed Martin Corporation directly. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on or around 14 October 2020 and contract award is anticipated on approximately 01 June 2021. This notice is a synopsis and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it is not a commitment by the U.S. Navy to procure the subject services. . The Government will not pay for any information received. Phone call responses will not be accepted.
