Deliveries are currently expected to complete 120 days after award of the contract. This pre-solicitation synopsis notice covers requirements that NAVSEA intends to procure on a sole-source basis with Trusted Systems, Inc. The CEC program provides a sensor network with Integrated Fire Control capability that significantly improves strike force air and missile defense capabilities by coordinating measurement data from strike force air search sensors on CEC-equipped units into a single, integrated real-time, composite track air picture. The CEC sensor netting system improves the Area Air Defense capabilities of Naval Carrier Strike Groups and Expeditionary Strike Groups by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC Cooperating Units. CEC fuses the distributed data into a single fire control quality air track picture that significantly improves unit track precision, consistency and continuity; expands detection range; and improves reaction time. CEC also improves strike force effectiveness by improving overall Situational Awareness and by enabling longer range, cooperative, multiple, or layered engagement strategies. **Disclaimer:** The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR subpart 13.101(b).
