AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SSC Atlantic) in North Charleston, SC, plans to extend the ordering period for Contract N65236-14-D-2813 with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation from November 6, 2016, to May 6, 2017. This extension aims to ensure uninterrupted support while a follow-on competitive contract is arranged. The contract supports professional field and marine engineering services, material acquisition, repair, refurbishment, software updates, and ISEA engineering assistance for advanced navigation systems used on U.S. Navy ships and submarines. These systems include various Ring Laser Gyro Navigation systems, gyrocompasses, attitude and heading reference systems, integrated bridge and voice management systems, speed logs, and other critical navigation and data distribution units essential for ship navigation and weapons systems performance. This extension is being pursued on a sole-source basis under federal acquisition regulations, asserting that Northrop Grumman is the only responsible source able to meet agency requirements during this period. The government is not requesting competitive proposals at this time but invites comments or questions to be submitted by September 27, 2016. The navigation systems involved are highly sophisticated, providing comprehensive navigation data such as position, velocity, and timing, which are vital to the mission effectiveness of surface ships and submarines. This contract extension ensures continuity of these critical systems until a new competitive contract arrangement is finalized.

This extension will permit continuity of services for SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic to provide professional field and marine engineering services, material acquisition, as well as repair, refurbishment, software, and ISEA engineering support for navigation systems. Navigation Systems such as the Inertial Navigation System AN/WSN-7/7A Ring Laser Gyro Navigation (RLGN) systems, AN/WSN-7B Ring Laser Gyrocompass (RLG), MK39 Ring Laser Gyro, NAVIGAT Gyro Compass, MK27F Attitude and Heading Reference System, Integrated Bridge System /Voice Management System (IBS/VMS), NAVIKNOT Multi-sensor Speed Logs (Models SRD331, NIII, & N350E), NAVITWIN III CMS (IV HMS), Digital Tape Repeater (DTR) 600, Digital Bearing Repeater (DBR) 600, Jupiter Magnetic Compass, Navigation Data Concentrator Units (NDCU) and the Navigation Data Distribution System (NAVDDS). The Ring Laser Gyro Navigator System is the Program of Record for surface ship and submarine Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The AN/WSN-7B RLG is fielded aboard both surface ships and submarines. These systems provide full ship navigation capability as well as interface digital data such as position, velocity, velocity rates, and time information to other ship systems. These are currently the most sophisticated and advanced navigation systems in U. S. Navy ships. These navigation systems are critical to the mission of the ship in which they are installed, as they directly affect the weapons systems$B!G(B performance. This action is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302$B!>(B1, $B!H(BOnly one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
