- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, FL intends to solicit and award a firm-fixed price (FFP) type contract on a sole source basis to KLAS Communications 1101 30 th ST NW STE 500 Washington DC 20007-3772 for ten (10) each of KTS-VOY-RRCS-V2-R1.0 Rapid Response Communications Systems - V2.0. In addition, one option period will be granted to cover planned FY16 procurements for the following: (40) forty Rapid Response Communications Systems V2.0. The systems are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) items. All prices will be evaluated at the time of award. This action is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons: The system is part of the entire Rapid Response Kit (RRK) and is integral to its operation. The end items being purchased were specifically tested as part of the Deployable Joint Command and Control (DJC2) RRK and are the only systems that have been certified through interoperability certification. Substituting other components for the KLAS Voyager will invalidate the ATO and will invalidate any interoperability certification. The systems being procured are manufactured and distributed solely by KLAS Telecom., Inc. The hardware is only available from the small business original equipment manufacturer (OEM) - they do not sell through resellers or distributors. No other sources meet the certification requirements for interoperability with the DJC2 RRK. The RRK has received an Approval to Operate (ATO) from Naval Network Warfare Command and has been certified through interoperability to certification. Other COTS items would require extensive engineering testing and certification which would result in the required deliverable dates not being achieved. Delivery is required 14 weeks after contract award. Delivery will be made to the Receiving Officer, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City, FL 32407. The proposed contract action is for supplies for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. Interested offeror(s) wishing to qualify items for future procurements may submit request(s) for qualification, via e-mail, to Contract Specialist, Michelle Cohn, at michelle.cohn@navy.mil. Requests must be marked with this synopsis designation number and should include the offerors name, address, telephone number, commercial and government entity (CAGE) code, point of contact, and clearly identify the offerors capabilities. Request for qualification shall be provided on or before 14 September 2015. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. NAICS Code 517410 applies. FSC 5820
