This is a combined synopsis and solicitation. SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Linear Photonics, 3 Nami Lane, Suite 7C, Hamilton, NJ 08619, CAGE 3TMR5, under authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. There has been approximately 30 failures of the ASEA Power Supply in the past year in the SLQ-32(V)6 system installed in US war ships. These failures are directly attributable to excessive in rush current supplied to the ASEA Fiber Optic Transmitter Chassis by the ASEA Power Supply. An In-line current limiting device will prevent these failures and actively manage voltage and/or current from ASEA Power Supply. Linear Photonics is the OEM of the Fiber optic Transmitter Chassis. Due to the complexity of the circuitry integrated into the design of the Fiber Optic Transmitter Chassis. Selecting an alternative source would create the following undesired issues: significant duplication of costs, lack of knowledge of existing Fiber Optic assembly, and an increase in schedule/delivery date. 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.
