Littoral Battlespace Sensing - Glider (LBS) systems

The contract supports the maintenance, service, repair, and upgrade of the Littoral Battlespace Sensing – Glider (LBS-G) system through a sole-source modification awarded to Teledyne Brown Engineering under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, justified by the exclusive possession of the proprietary Level III Technical Data Package (TDP) necessary for sustainment. Performance is conducted exclusively at Teledyne Brown Engineering’s facility in Huntsville, Alabama, with the government relying entirely on the contractor for inspection, maintenance, and acceptance due to the absence of publicly accessible technical specifications or alternative capable vendors. The period of performance extends from February 25, 2021, to February 24, 2027, with a total estimated value ranging between $6.8 million and $9.9 million under a non-competitive award, funded through OPN and O&MN line items totaling $3.1 million for FY27. Government rights are limited to Government Purpose Rights for manuals and drawings, with no license to the underlying design data, preventing third-party involvement in sustainment. The contracting office is located in San Diego, California, with Rachel Jimenez serving as the sole point of contact, and no formal line-item pricing, packaging requirements, invoicing instructions, or detailed inspection criteria beyond the contractor’s proprietary standards are specified. The contract includes no competition, no evaluation factors, no socioeconomic or small business certifications from the offeror, and no provisions for options, key personnel, or security clearances, reflecting its singular focus on sustaining a uniquely proprietary system.
