- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Picatinny, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806- 5000, on behalf of Product Manager for Soldier Weapons (PM SW) intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a sole source modification to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) for Field Service Engineer (FSE) Support for Kongsberg Defence and Aerospaces Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station CROWS). The anticipated effort will be firm fixed priced for up to eight (8) man years of Field Service Engineer (FSE) Support for a period of two (2) years for eight (8) fielded sites The acquisition of FSE support for the CROWS from sources other than Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace will not meet the immediate fielding support requirements and schedule. It is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in meeting fielding schedules. Additionally, the existence of limited Government rights to Kongsberg proprietary software and hardware also make these services available from only this one (1) source. The CROWS provided by KDA are proprietary systems, in which, KDA has unique hardware, software, and interface knowledge that no other third party contractor possesses. The use of a third party contractor without this essential knowledge may result in improper application of installation, operation, training and maintenance procedures, which increases the potential for degraded operation, as well as, safety implications for equipment and personnel. Please note this notice does not constitute a Request For Proposal (RFP). A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The anticipated award date for this action is the 23rd of September 2011. The point of contact for this requirement is Corey Woodson, Contract Specialist ACC-PICA-SW Building 9, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000. Email: corey.woodson@us.army.mil
