The proposed contract action is for materials for which the Government intends negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. The Government's need for the System procurement can only be met by modifying OK-410(V)4 H&SG units currently in production under an existing contract under which RR is a subcontractor (in name only) performing 100% of the effort under the Canadian Commercial Corporation. RR is the only qualified vendor that can make the modifications (including modifications to software) to the equipment ensuring the completed System can be delivered to the Government at a reasonable cost. The Contractor shall deliver modified OK-410(V)4 developmental operator controller software, originally written by RR, and provide additional capability to simulate and report status for the portions of the OK- 410(V)4 that will not be integrated into the developmental system (i.e. winch and level wind). This additional Simulation/Stimulation (SIM/STIM) capability includes local and remote displays, interconnect cabling, and system documentation for SIM/STIM of operator controls of the entire towed array deployment and retrieval sequence. The Navy will provide the required operator control console, slip ring assembly and power distribution panel as Government Furnished Material for modification to support delivery of the System to be delivered under this requirement. The Contractor shall perform factory acceptance testing, modify components as required, assemble and integrate all components, and demonstrate the operation as a completed system at delivery. The Contractor shall also provide an installation control drawing with assembly notes suitable for installing and configuring the System in a government laboratory. The anticipated award date of RFP#: N66604-17-R-0006 is expected to be on or about 16 March 2017. The synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which will be considered by the Government.
