The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ (NAWCAD LKE) intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis with Total Quality Systems, Inc. (TQS) (CAGE 020U3) for the procurement of Maintenance and Support Services for Intermittent Fault Detection and Isolation System/Joint Intermittence Tester (IFDIS/JIT) stations and their associated Test Program Sets located at FRC West (FRCW) Lemoore, FRC Mid-Atlantic (FRCMA) Oceana, and FRC Southwest (FRCSW) North Island.

TQS has the SBIR data rights to make any diagnostics, modifications, upgrades or repairs to the IFDIS/JIT units. Due to this fact, TQS is the only contractor with the data rights necessary to service the IFDIS/JIT. The Government does not have the data rights for this part to allow for a competitive procurement.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements” for this action. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov) is mandatory for consideration. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract.
