D--Integration and upgrades Satellite Took Kit (STK) Orbital Analysis Systems

The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center in San Diego, specifically the Seal Beach Division, plans to engage in sole source negotiations with Maxim Systems, Inc., located in San Diego, CA, for the integration and upgrade of the Satellite Tool Kit (SKT) Orbital Analysis (OA) systems used by NAVSOC. This decision is based on the authority granted by U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source contracting when only one responsible source is capable of meeting the agency’s requirements. Maxim Systems, Inc. is uniquely qualified as the original designer and developer of the SKT OA systems, and no other supplier can provide the necessary system integration support or fulfill the technical needs involved in the upgrade. This contract action is informational and not a solicitation for offers or proposals. It falls under NAICS code 541511, which pertains to Custom Computer Programming Services, with a size standard of $23 million. The Department of Defense, through the Navsup Fleet Logistics Center in San Diego, will execute this procurement to ensure continued operational capability and enhancement of the SKT OA systems. All activities will take place within the jurisdiction of the contracting office in San Diego, CA, but specific place of performance details are not provided. The sole source approach underscores the specialized nature of the technical requirements and the exclusivity of Maxim Systems’ expertise in this domain.
