The Government plans to negotiate a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract with Rockwell Automation, Incorporated, to acquire components for the "Smart Ship" programmable logic controller (PLC) control system.

The required components, which must be sourced directly from Rockwell Automation to meet the Naval Surface Warfare Center’s standardized installation requirements, include various PLC controllers, DeviceNet kits, Flex I/O input enclosures, and switches, with precise quantities specified for each item. The procurement follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 sole source authority and is solicited as per FAR 13.5 for certain commercial items. All items are to be delivered to the Bremerton, Washington site no later than June 30, 2003.
