The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI), CAGE: 88236, under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N68335-20-G-3038 for the fabrication and delivery of the AN/SPN-35C Transmitter (PN: VZX-3525) of the Approach and Landing Systems (PALS) Radio Frequency (RF) components and assemblies. This effort will be in support of the NAWCAD Webster Outlying Field Air Traffic Control & Landing Systems (ATC&LS) Division. The function of PALS is to provide precision landing information to air traffic controllers and the final approach controller while landing aircraft aboard aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. If the equipment is not operational, the fleet will be directly and adversely affected as the Government’s capability to track and land aircraft aboard vessels will be severely restricted. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), CPI is the only company that maintains the data rights, technical expertise, and production level data necessary to support the repair, restoration, modification, and spare parts of these RF components and assemblies without extensive reverse engineering efforts and schedule delays. 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.
