AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), supporting the Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (PEO-C4I) and specifically the Command and Control Program Office (PMW 150), plans to procure Common Data Link Management System (CDLMS) units. These units are intended to support urgent fleet technology refresh upgrades, new ship construction initial deliveries, and fulfill Foreign Military Sales commitments. Procurement will be managed via fair opportunity competitions under the Common Afloat Local Area Network Infrastructure (CALI) Multiple Award Contract (MAC). The CDLMS units require specific brand-name components detailed in the CDLMS Technical Data Package due to their critical role in ensuring system performance and compliance with hardware and software constraints. Past substitutions of these parts have resulted in unacceptable re-certification costs, delays, and increased technical risks, leading to a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) that authorizes the use of these brand-name items under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1). The government intends to acquire approximately seventy unique brand-name components for fifty-seven CDLMS production units through CALI MAC prime contract holders by May 31, 2018. While this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, potential suppliers may express interest by submitting a capability statement identifying their company and providing information on proposed substitute parts that meet or exceed the specified qualifications. Responses must be submitted within 15 days of the notice issuance and should be limited to the requested information, as the government will use this data solely to determine whether to initiate a competitive procurement. No payments will be made for information submitted, and the government retains full discretion over awarding or not awarding a competitive procurement for these specific brand-name parts.

This procurement will be conducted under the Common Afloat Local Area Network Infrastructure (CALI) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) via fair opportunity competitions. The purpose of this synopsis is to announce that components of the CDLMS units will be brand-name supplies, which will be justified through a Class J&A under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304 (c)(1) and FAR part 6.302-1(c). The provided list of components identifies the brand-name components (including the manufacturer, model/part number, item description, and the unique qualification of each part) prescribed in the CDLMS Technical Data Package (TDP), which are essential for successful operation of the CDLMS units. The Hardware System and software architecture constraints of the CDLMS units generate the need for the specified brand name components. The Government has experienced unacceptable re-certification cost, schedule growth and increased technical risk due to substitution of the specified parts in the past. The Government anticipates procuring approximately seventy (70) brand-name unique items for use in fifty-seven (57) CDLMS production units, which will be procured by the CALI MAC prime contract holders via Delivery Orders awarded under the CALI MAC through 31 May 2018.

Responses are required no later than 15 days after the issuance of this synopsis. Reponses shall be submitted to: Chris Thompson at contact@example.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete the procurement of the specified brand-name parts based upon 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.
