J -- Refurbishing NRL Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

The Naval Research Laboratory plans to negotiate a contract with Systems Planning Corporation on a non-competitive basis to refurbish the Metratek synthetic aperture radar (SAR). This decision is driven by Systems Planning Corporation's unique qualifications as the sole source possessing personnel with prior experience and expertise related to the Metratek system, which is critical for accurately assessing and executing the necessary refurbishment. The refurbished SAR system is required to be delivered within three months. Interested parties are invited to respond to the notice of intent within 45 days from the synopsis date. Responses should demonstrate relevant experience, particularly with the development of the Metratek CDA-200 WINSAR control and acquisition unit, as well as the qualifications of the company and its personnel. The contract, managed by the Department of Defense’s Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, involves specialized work that only Systems Planning Corporation is positioned to perform based on prior involvement and knowledge of the SAR system.
