THIS SYNOPSIS/INTENT TO GO SOLE SOURCE is being issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD). NSWCPD has a requirement to procure engineering services, development services, and site support services to troubleshoot, repair, sustain, upgrade and/or modernize the following fielded and baselined systems: Central Atmosphere Monitoring System (CAMS) Mk I, CAMS Mk II, and CAMS IIA. These systems are on board the LOS ANGELES, OHIO, SEAWOLF, VIRGINIA, and baselined on COLUMBIA Class Submarines. IAW FAR 6.302-1, it is the Government's intention to enter into negotiations, on a sole source basis, with Collins Aerospace Mission Systems, 960 Overland Court, San Dimas, CA 91773 to procure these services as only Collins Aerospace Mission Systems can meet these requirements. The equipment that is the subject matter of this procurement monitors the atmosphere inside of a submarine and is vital to the mission and the wellbeing of the personnel on board.
