- Description
- Statement of Work Justification for other than full and open competition RFQ The U.S. Dept of Commerce, NOAA, Wallops CDA Station, Wallops Island, Virginia, intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed price contract to General Dynamics Sat Com Technologies, 1219 Digital Drive, Richardson, TX 75081-7206. Only one responsible source is available to satisfy the agency requirement for on-site training of agency operations personnel for the General Dynamics SAT Com Technologies, (Vertex RSI) antenna drive systems. The Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) has a wide array of antennas serving in its mission to collect national critical weather data. As a necessity in collecting this data, WCDAS personnel maintains the antenna systems used in this effort. A critical element in every antenna system is the drive system. These antenna drive systems were developed, installed, tested, and accepted in coordination with General Dynamics Vertex RSI. The WCDAS staff is responsible for maintaining these drive systems. In doing so, parts are purchased from General Dynamics Vertex RSI, and WCDAS maintains proprietary documentation. On occasion the General Dynamics Vertex RSI staff advises WCDAS staff on specific issues regarding maintenance and repair of the drive systems. In order to meet maintenance responsibilities in a 24/7 environment, adequate training must be provided to technicians that perform the work. This requires unique experience and knowledge of the General Dynamics Vertex RSI equipment. General Dynamics Vertex RSI is the only responsible source who can provide the required skills and expertise to successfully provide this training. In order to comply with the debt collection improvement act of 1966, all contractors must be registered in the central contractor registration (CCR) to be considered for an award of a federal contract. For information regarding registration in CCR contact the CCR Website at www.ccr.gov/index.cfm. The Federal Supply Code for this requirement is U008 and the North American Identification Classification System (NAICS) code is 334220. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302 (c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a proposal. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by 12 pm, EST, August 9 th, 2010 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Responses to this notice, if any, must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Terri.L.Ford@noaa.gov
