VXX Internal Communications System (ICS) Systems Integration Lab (SIL) support

This sole source amendment to Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity, Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract N00421-11-D-0002 authorizes Telephonics Corporation to provide additional technical support for the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division. Originally awarded on October 1, 2010, to support the Air Traffic Control Processing and Display Branch with the AN/TPX-42A(V) Interrogator System, the contract is expanded to include the VXX Internal Communications System (ICS) Systems Integration Lab (SIL) system. Under this amendment, Telephonics Corporation will support the Integrated Communications and Information Systems Division by designing, manufacturing, testing, and delivering the VXX ICS SIL system, which involves modifying the existing Secure Digital Intercommunications System and integrating it with Commercial Voice of Internet Protocol technologies into the VXX Mission Communications System. The justification for this sole source award is based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as Telephonics Corporation is identified as the only responsible source capable of performing the work due to its ownership of proprietary software and technical data rights for the required EXCAP/MCAP hardware. Managed by the Department of Defense in Patuxent River, Maryland, the effort falls under NAICS code 541330. This action ensures the continued integration of critical mission communications capabilities through the specialized technical expertise and proprietary assets held by the contractor.
