Digital Electronic Warfare System spares

WR-ALC plans to award a sole-source contract to BAE for initial spare parts of the Digital Electronic Warfare Systems (DEWS) being purchased for the Royal Saudi Air Force, with a total of 15 equivalent spare units to be procured. The parts are national stock listed, with the exact part number to be determined, and delivery is expected to begin 30 months after the contract award. The solicitation was anticipated to be issued on or after July 14, 2011. This procurement is justified under the authority that the required services are available from only one responsible source, making BAE the sole source under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. The contract is identified under solicitation number FA8540-11-R-33596 and falls within the NAICS code 334511, covering electronic component manufacturing. It is important to note that this is not a request for competitive proposals, although interested parties may express their interest and capability; however, the government retains sole discretion in whether to pursue competition. Additionally, foreign participation at the prime contractor level is prohibited due to the sole-source requirement. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Nicole R. Furlough, reachable via email and phone provided.
