ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a firm fixed price, commercial, sole source procurement for the acquisition of PLX periscope and retroreflector optical lab equipment.

However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.


Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://sam.gov.


This solicitation is being issued pursuant to the procedures at FAR 12.102.  Synopsis exception FAR 5.202(a)(13) applies and Solicitation Number N0016426Q0282 is hereby issued as an attachment hereto. 


All changes to the requirement that occur prior to the closing date will be posted to Contract Opportunities on https://sam.gov/.  It is the responsibility of interested vendors to monitor https://sam.gov/ for any amendments, which may be issued to this solicitation. 


For changes made after the closing date, only those offerors that provide a quote will be provided any changes/amendments and considered for future discussions and/or award.

EVALUATION/REPAIRS
Solicitation # N00016427Q0006
Solicitation N00164-27-Q-0006 is a sole source, firm fixed price procurement issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division for engineering services to support five AN/SLQ-32(V)4 G4DSP-XD3 multiprocessor cards. The primary objective is to perform evaluation diagnostics, failure analysis, and data extraction on non-working processing units to determine if they are repairable or beyond economic repair. Key technical requirements include salvaging Northrop Grumman running scripts and operational binary scripts from non-volatile memory, as well as mapping hardcoded IP schemes and network connection profiles. The government intends to negotiate exclusively with Abaco Systems due to the items being peculiar to one manufacturer, although other responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. The contract requires strict adherence to MIL-STD-129 for shipping and marking, NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 for media sanitization, and DoDI 8582.01 for the security of non-DoD information systems. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management and comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements under DFARS 252.204-7021. Deliverables include software test reports, computer software products, and system security plans. Invoicing must be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system.
