AMENDMENT 0001: N0016424RWP15_0001 - SOLE SOURCE - AN_ALQ-184 Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) Supplies - PSC 5955 - NAICS 334515 Issue Date: 05 March 2024 - Closing Date: 14 March 2024 at 02:00 PM EST (EDT) The reason for this amendment is to remove transformer language, update the NAICS code, update contact information, and revise issue and closing date. The transformer language has been removed due to no longer being part of the requirement. To reflect this major change, a new NAICS code has been found to be more appropriate. The contact information has been updated to the contract specialist now working this action. In addition, there is a revised issue and closing date due to these changes. N0016424RWP15 - SOLE SOURCE - AN/ALQ-184 Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) Supplies - 5955 - NAICS 334419 Synopsis Issue Date: 9 November 2023 - Closing Date: 5 December 2023 - Time 16:00 Eastern Solicitation Issue Date 11 March 2024 - Closing Date 16 April 2024 - Time 1400 Eastern Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for supplies to support the AN/ALQ-184 Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) program. The requirements are for VCO heads P/Ns 292-01-05225-01, 292-01-05225-02, 292-01-05225-03, 292-01-05225-04, 292-01-05225-05, 292-01-05225-06, and 292-01-05225-07. Also voltage transformers P/N 71D1007-5A. This will be a five year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with an anticipated maximum quantity of 195 VCO heads and 250 transformers. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a sole source contract to the original equipment manufacturer of the VCO, formerly Keltec but now Crane Electronics Inc., 340 N. Roosevelt Avenue, Chandler, AZ 85226. This effort will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The basis for restricting competition is the fact that Crane Electronics is the only approved source capable of manufacturing and delivering the VCOs and transformers in accordance with the Governments required delivery. The Government does not own the complete, Level III, Build-to-Print Technical Data Package (TDP) associated with the VCO requirement. The cost to develop a technical data package suitable for competitive procurement would not be recovered through competition. In addition, the time required to get a new source approved would result in unacceptable delays in the delivery of the required supplies. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. 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.
