- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 15.3, the U.S. Army RDEC, Natick Contracting Division, Kansas Street, Natick, MA on behalf of the United States Army ?????? Soldier System Center, Natick, MA intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis with Wilcox Industries Corporation, 125 Aviation Avenue, Unit 2, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2833. This effort is for Wilcox to build 10 Stereo Lithography and 10 Commercial-off the-shelf Helmets using present Coxswains Helmet integrated systems such as Ni ght Vision Goggles (NVG??????s) to test out new designs for potential improvements to the Coxswains Helmet with the integrated system. Wilcox has unique capabilities and is the only active integrator of the NVG system that is used on the existing helmets. Part of the NVG design is based on the geometry of the Helmet and any helmet in the future must be designed around the same geometry. Any effort to compete this action would result in a redundancy of time, effort and cost of qualifying and testing another company??????s abilities to provide a NVG system and integrate it into the Coxswain Helmet. If a new helmet and integration system results in the requirement for production quantities, a full and open solicitation may be issued. Any questions concerning t his acquisition may be addressed to the above address, Attention: Mr. Sean P. Murphy (AMSRD-ACC-N) or by E-mail. This notice expires January 30, 2004.
