This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities(FBO) page located at http://www.eps.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line(NECO) site located at http://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Navy Sea Systems Command. The NUWC Newport intends to award a sole source Fixed Price contract to Omegadyne, Sunbury, OH for the following: repair of 12 Differential Pressure Transducers (P/N A016668) and 9 Pressure Switches (P/N A018211). The repairs are necessary to replace failed items presently installed on missile tubes of SSN 688 Class Vertical Launch System (VLS TOMAHAWK) Submarines. The basis for the sole source is that the DDPT and Pressure Switch design is proprietary and is the only design recommended for procurement by the Navy for use on the SSN688 Class VLS submarine. This supplier can meet the compatibility and interchangeability requirements of these items. In addition, the contractor has the intricate and unique equipment required to test and repair these items. The solicitation is expected to be made available no earlier than Jan 26, 2006. The proposed action is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source using SAP and commercial item procedures as set forth in FAR Parts 12 and 13. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by the closing date will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
