The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a sole source basis for the issuance of a contract modification with Gardner Technologies, Inc. (GTI) to procure (1) each Digital Helicopter Operations Surveillance System (HOSS) Camera Assembly and one (1) each Digital HOSS Display & Control System. This change in requirement is due to the results of the shipboard candidate cameras evaluation, which requires integration of three camera sensors in the Digital HOSS Camera Assembly instead of one. It also requires Digital HOSS Display & Control System to handle three sets of display and control signals instead of one set as originally anticipated. The Government intends to procure the above items under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), FAR 6.302-1. Imenco UK Ltd. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer for HOSS and the only designer of the current configuration. Imenco does not deal with the US Government directly and has designated GTI as the sole sales provider of their products in the US. As a result, GTI is the only firm who can provide the required upgrades to the US Navy. This is not a request for competitive proposals. However, responsible sources are encouraged to submit a response to this synopsis in writing that contains information that may be used by the Government to determine whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement to competition based upon response(s) to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government.
