AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) plans to award a sole source contract to Hi-Test Laboratories, Inc. for engineering and technical services related to shock testing of 11 antennas mounted on the mast of the aircraft carrier CVN-78. The testing will be conducted using the Large Displacement Shock Simulator (LDSS), a proprietary machine developed by Hi-Test Laboratories, which is capable of simulating the low frequency (4-10 Hz), high velocity (>18 ft/second), and large displacement conditions specific to mast-mounted antennas. This testing is critical as antennas in these locations experience different shock environments compared to other shipboard equipment. The contract is expected to be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price agreement with a one-year base period and an optional one-year extension, with an anticipated award date of September 28, 2017. The work falls under NAICS code 541380, with a business size standard of $15 million, and the total contract value is not expected to exceed $700,000. Although this is a sole source award, SSC Pacific invites other qualified firms to express interest and demonstrate their capabilities, provided they can meet the quality and reliability requirements. Registered vendors must submit responses by August 25, 2017, through the SPAWAR E-Commerce website. All interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to contract award.

Full Description

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Hi-Test Laboratories, Inc. of Arvonica, VA. This effort will provide engineering and technical services to Code 52250. This contract action provides testing for a total of 11 shock test antennas mounted on the mast of CVN-78 on a Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) approved shock machine capable of achieving the low frequencies presented by the mast. This requirement involves testing antennas at a low frequency. It is known that antennas that are located on masts or yardarms generally see lower frequencies, and higher velocities and displacements than elsewhere on the ship. Thus, it is necessary to utilize a shock machine that can simulate the lower frequencies (4-10Hz) and higher velocity (>18 ft/second) environment of the mast. Hi-Test Laboratories developed a custom proprietary machine called the Large Displacement Shock Simulator (LDSS). The LDSS is currently the only method of achieving the low frequencies, high velocities, and large displacements recommended by the NAVSEA delegated approval authority (DAA) for shock qualification. The contract is anticipated to be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) type contract for a one (1) year base period of performance and one (1) one-year option period with an anticipated contract award date of 28 September 2017. The applicable NAICS Code is 541380 and the business size standard is $15 million. Be advised that the aforementioned information is anticipatory in nature and is not binding. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any firm believing that it can perform these services may be considered by the agency. Interested parties may identify its interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis, and must clearly demonstrate the firms ability to be responsive without compromising the quality, accuracy, and reliability of services provided. Any comments, questions or concerns regarding this notice must be submitted IN WRITING via e-mail to contact@example.gov. All responding vendors must be registered to the System for Award Management (SAM) website prior to award of contract. Information can be found at https://www.sam.gov/. To respond to this announcement, you must be registered to the SPAWAR E-Commerce website at https://e-commerce.sscno.nmci.navy.mil. Responses are due by 25 August 2017. The proposed Solicitation Number is N66001-17-P-0201. The dollar value of this requirement is not anticipated to exceed $700,000.
