THIS SOLE SOURCE SYNOPSIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD 20670, Atlantic Test Range (ATR) Aircraft Signature & Avionics Measurement Branch, in support of the Advanced Dynamic Range Measurement System (ADAMS) intends to award a sole source contract to protCad Corporation for the procurement of frangible spheres used to calibrate the ATR/ ADAMS radars before, during and after each mission to improve test range safety standards while meeting technical requirements set by Navy Range Safety Office engineers. This is a follow-on effort with a requirement of up to 1,950 frangible spheres or 390 per year over 5 years. The frangible spheres are critical to flight test operations because data relies on the accuracy of radar measurements which are calibrated by floating spheres through air while attached to balloons. The applicable NAICS Code is 339999. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S.C. 2304 (1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
