J--BOA EXTENSION of AN/SYS-2(V) IADT SYSTEM

Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to modify sole source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00024-99-G-5220 with Northrop Grumman Norden Systems Inc. (NGNS) of 65 Marcus Drive, Melville, NY 11747 to extend the ordering period for one year from the current expiration date of 1 June 2003. The BOA provides for the issuance of multiple orders for Design Agent, Engineering and Technical Services in support of Engineering Changes/Product Improvement and Studies under the AN/SYS-2 (V) Integrated Automatic Detection and Tracking (IADT) System Program. The BOA allows for the placement of firm fixed-price (FFP) type contract or cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) type contract orders. NGNS is the original designer, developer, and the sole producer of the AN/SYS-2 (V) IADT System. As such, NGNS is the only known firm possessing the requisite technical expertise and background to perform th e required design agent, engineering and technical services in a cost effective manner while minimizing the impact to the AN/SYS-2 (V) deliveries to the Navy's shipbuilding schedules. The modification will be issued pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). This synopsis is for informational purposes only and the benefit of potential subcontractors.
