The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with RIIMIC LLC doing business as Sunair Electronics, CAGE: 5NW22, a new contract for the procurement of High Frequency (HF) RT-9000E radios, radio software, and the associated cables and ancillary items that will support the NAWCAD Webster Outlying Field Special Communications Mission Solutions Division. The purchase of Sunair RT-9000E radios, radio software, and associated cables and ancillary items is tasked by the Air Combat Command (ACC) to modernize the Remote Radio Secure Voice System, and maintain the planned production schedule for the modernization of the Control and Reporting Center family of systems. The Sunair RT-9000E radios, radio software, and associated cables are a direct replacement for the currently-fielded legacy Sunair HF radios. Sunair is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the RT-9000E radio, radio software, and associated cabling and ancillary items and does not authorize resale of these products. Various qualification and environmental testing has already occurred and been approved by the ACC and introducing a new product would result in duplication of costs and delays of six (6) months. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate this requirement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov) is mandatory for consideration. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract.
