Intent to Sole Source STARLite

The Government intends to award a modification to the current Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for sustainment and support service requirements for an extended ordering period of five (5) years. The contractor shall provide test and inspection (T&I), repair, technical support services, and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) material inventory replenishment for STARLite ER assets and program objectives.

The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC), 150808 West Nursery Road, Linthicum Heights, MD, 21090, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency.

However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to the synopsis is solely within the discretion of the Government. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation directly. This is not a formal solicitation or request for proposal. This synopsis is to give notice of the Government’s intent to award a sole source contract.

Contractors who can provide the U.S. Army with the required services, are invited to electronically submit an affirmative, written response indicating a bona fide ability to meet this specific requirement. Responses should appear on company letterhead and include, at minimum, affirmation of active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), your Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number, any applicable processed credentials and qualifications, and any applicable information.

All responses should include a point-of-contact, telephone number, and electronic mail address. Additionally, respondents should indicate whether that are a large business, small business, small, disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, women-owned small business, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, or qualify as socially or economically disadvantaged and whether they are U.S. or foreign owned. Responses to this notice will be used to determine the availability of this type of service.

All responsible sources may respond to this synopsis. It is the responsibility of the interested contractor to submit responses to the Government Point of Contact (POC) at Army Contracting Command prior to the closing time and date of the synopsis. All responses must be submitted via e-mail to Aaron Norton, Contract Specialist at aaron.j.norton3.civ@army.mil, courtesy copy Eric Pyles, Contracting Officer at eric.c.pyles.civ@army.mil.
