N66001-21-Q-6368 – Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source to Northrop Grumman Corporation.

The Department of the Navy, Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) hereby publicizes its intention to solicit, negotiate, and award a Commercial Firm-Fixed-Price FAR 13 purchase order on a non-competitive basis with Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC), San Diego, California, 92123. This is a new procurement. The requirement is for the purchase of the following supplies:
Part Number Description Qty.
205-A00663 Gateway Manager Server 1
246-A30762 Interface, Link 11, NTDS, OP 2
246-A30761 Interface, Link 16, 1553, Single 1
Shipping FedEx (Moorestown, NJ) 1
The justification for a non-competitive award is as follows. These assortments of parts are an integral part of the Sea Commander configuration, developed and fielded by United States Coast Guard (USCG). These parts interface with multiple military and commercial hardware and software products. To replace these parts with other brands would require significant and costly testing and software builds updates, documentation, and training in order for the system to work with another product. That kind of change would be prohibitive in terms of cost and time to the US Coast Guard.
A determination by the government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely at the discretion of the government. However, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this notice, and must clearly show the firm's ability to be responsive without compromising quality, accuracy, and reliability. A copy of the Request for Quote will be made available upon request. The applicable NAICS Code is 332510 and the business size standard is 750 employees.
