- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY.�� This is not a solicitation or request for quotes and no contract or purchase order will be awarded from this notice.� There is no solicitation, specifications or drawings available at this time. Military Sealift Command is seeking eligible businesses that can provide Harris Corporation (Harris) Original Equipment Manufacturer XG-75 radios and model specific associated equipment. The XG-75 upgrade, associated with MSC T-ALT 472, consists of replacing only the P7100 handheld radios and bulkhead mounted equipment to address pending obsolescence of those items. The Harris XG-75 is the only active radio that works on the AN/SRC-55(V) Hierarchical Yet Dynamically Reprogrammable Architecture (HYDRA) System infrastructure installed on the T-AKE Class vessels utilizing proprietary software and hardware from Harris. The XG-75 radios and bulkhead mounted equipment must support Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking in order to operate on the existing HYDRA cabinet and Radiated Transmission Line /antenna infrastructure.� EDACS trunking is a proprietary trunking protocol which can only be supplied by Harris. Changes to the ship's infrastructure and antenna system to support an alternative system would require a complete redesign of the HYDRA system, significant ship alterations, and dramatically increase costs associated not only with a new system but also with logistics, training, and supportability. Estimated issue date of this solicitation is on/about 18 April 2023.� After issuance, the solicitation may be obtained on the Sam.gov website. All Small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Certified HUBZone and Certified 8(a) Small Businesses are encouraged to respond.� The Government will determine whether a small business set-aside acquisition, in lieu of full and open competition, is in the Government's best interest.� This office anticipates award of a contract on or about 1 May 2023.� The appropriate NAICS Code is 334220. �THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE OR PROPOSAL.� It is a market research tool used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential small business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of an award.� The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis. It is requested that interested small businesses submit to the contracting office a brief capabilities package demonstrating ability to provide the requested items.� This document shall address, as a minimum the following: (1) Company Profile to include number of employees, office location(s), DUNS number, CAGE Code and a statement regarding small business designation and status; (2) The facility where the work will be performed; (3) Partnership agreements with any large businesses. Submission of a capabilities statement is not a prerequisite to any potential future offerings, but participation will assist the Government in tailoring requirements to be consistent with industry. RESPONSES ARE DUE on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 by 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.� Responses can be sent via email to the following address: raymond.f.gardner.civ@us.navy.mil.� Fax submissions of the capabilities packages WILL NOT be accepted.� Questions or comments regarding this notice may be addressed to raymond.f.gardner.civ@us.navy.mil.
