NAVSURFWARCEN Crane Division has a requirement for Design Agent/Technical Engineering Services for the AN/SPS-67(V) Radar Program as follows: These services shall include program management; system engineering; technical analysis; programmatic and technical documentation development; safety-related engineering; logistic support items including but not limited to: Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), Provisioning Technical Documentation (PTD), training products, and INCO analysis. This solicitation will be issued utilizing other than full and open competition procedures under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), One Source or Limited Sources. An offer will be solicited from DRS C-3, 200 Professional Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20879. The proposed Cost Plus Fixed Fee Contract is for Design Agent/Technical Engineering Services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a) (2). It has been determined that the Government requirement for these services can only be met by one manufacturer due to the contractors unique knowledge and experience with this radar system as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and the anticipated costs achieved through competition are not anticipated to be recouped by that competition.
