Description

Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract modification to Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) to provide Field Service Representatives (FSR), mission operator pallet system software, design, manufacture, test, and installation of Harvest Hercules Airborne Weapons Kit (HAWK) Plus (HH+) Engineering Change Proposal Windows 10 Cyber Security upgrade, and program management functions in support of the HH+ program.� The FSR will provide 24/7 world-wide telephonic technical assistance in the resolution of fielded system problems related to the troubleshooting, maintenance, or operation of installed HH+ weapons, sensor, network, processing, and communications equipment.� The Windows 10 Cyber Security upgrade addresses cyber security vulnerabilities.� The Government intends to award a sole source acquisition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, ""Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements�.� Implementation and operation of the weapon and sensor systems that provide the Close Air Support and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance capability on the KC-130J aircraft is performed via the integrated SNC Burma software suite.� SNC is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer and integrator of the Burma software suite.� In order to meet the engineering and logistics requirements, technical data associated with the Burma software, is required to define, control, and document all physical, electrical, structural, software and functional interfaces between the KC-130J aircraft systems and software.� The technical data is proprietary to SNC, which is unwilling to sell the technical data.� As a result, SNC is the only source that possesses the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data to perform the required efforts.� The FSR will require internal access via the Burma software to isolate the problems associated with system faults.� Access to this software is proprietary in nature and only available to SNC. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.� A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract modification based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No phone inquiries will be entertained.� Reponses shall be made by email to Bryson Shibe using the contact information provided in this synopsis. Unless otherwise stated herein, no additional written information is available.
