Type: Synopsis Solicitation #: N66604-20-R-8552 Agency/Office: Naval Sea Systems Command Location: Newport, RI 02906 Title: Synopsis: Submarine High Data Rate (SubHDR), LN-100 Mast Motion Sensor (MMS). Classification Code: 5963 (electronic modules) NAICS Code: 334511 Gyroscopes manufacturing/navigational instruments manufacturing Response Date: 13 August 2020 This synopsis is prepared in accordance with FAR 5.2 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This proposed contract action is being processed on a sole source basis. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334511. The Small Business Size Standard is 1,250 employees. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a firm fixed price, contract on a sole source basis to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (hereafter referred to as “NGSC”) for Submarine High Data Rate (SubHDR) Mast Motion Sensors (MMS). This requirement is a partial follow on to N66604-15-D-1504 with NGSC. The proposed contract action is for supplies for which the Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 ‘Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements’. NUWCDIVNPT Code 34 is the designated Technical Direction Agent (TDA) and National Maintenance Center (NMC) for the SubHDR Mast Group System and is the sole facility capable of repairing SubHDR Masts for the fleet. The Code 34 SubHDR NMC is responsible for recommending and implementing engineering changes into SubHDR Masts to enhance the life of the system in the fleet. In support of this effort, NUWCDIVNPT Code 34 has a requirement for Spare SubHDR MMS Units. The required SubHDR MMS Units are highly complex sub-level components of the SubHDR Mast Group Systems. The required SubHDR MMS must perform in various outboard at-sea environments that include underwater explosion, high/low temperature, vibration, inclination, and electro-magnetic interference, and must meet the Government’s rigorous certification criteria (e.g. stabilization and pointing of a narrow beam three-axis (3-axis) antenna operating under sea state five (5) conditions). Furthermore, the SubHDR MMS are the only sub-level components that meet all functional, performance, and environmental qualification requirements of the SubHDR Mast Group System specification. Raytheon, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), has designated NGSC as the only certified supplier of the SubHDR MMS. Therefore, NGSC is the only source capable of supplying the required parts to meet the Government’s minimum requirements. The anticipated place of performance is at the Contractor’s site in Salt Lake City, UT. The anticipated award date of this requirement is expected to be on or about 01 November 2020. The synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information shall be submitted prior to 13 August 2020 via email to the following point of contact: Levi Andrews at levi.andrews@navy.mil
