J--058 Maintenance and Repair of Communication, Detection and Coherent Radiation Equipment

The Contracting Department at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center in Norfolk, Virginia, plans to negotiate a sole source, firm fixed-price contract with Long Wave, Inc. under FAR Subpart 13.5, which governs the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This sole source approach is due to Long Wave, Inc. being the exclusive manufacturer of the Clarinet Merlin Receiving Sub-System (CMRS) and the only vendor capable of providing the specialized maintenance and operational support required. Long Wave owns proprietary data rights to the remote interface software essential for system performance maintenance, making them uniquely qualified to ensure the equipment's safe and effective operation. The contract, classified under NAICS code 541330 with a size standard of $38.5 million, will have a 12-month base period starting on October 20, 2015, and may include up to four option years, incorporating the FAR clause on options to extend services. The solicitation documents will be available for download from the NECO website beginning around May 29, 2015, as no hard copies will be issued. Potential contractors must self-certify that neither they nor their principals are suspended or debarred from federal contracting and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award, maintain registration during contract performance, and until final payment. This contract focuses on the maintenance and repair of communication, detection, and coherent radiation equipment, emphasizing Long Wave’s exclusive capabilities and proprietary software necessary to maintain the CMRS equipment under this sole source procurement. Questions about registration or the solicitation process are to be directed to the designated point of contact via email.
