The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake, CA, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, intends to procure, on an other than full and open competition basis, a Firm Fixed Price Contract (FFP) with modification with General Nano, 1176 Mentor Ave, Ste. 170 Cincinnati, OH 45212.   Based on General Nano’s performance under the existing contract, no other source can reasonably be expected to perform the additional work resulting from reprioritization of capabilities without significant duplication of cost and schedule impact. Delaying the procurement to find another source would significantly impact the US Navy’s operating capabilities.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any firm believing it can fulfill the requirement identified above may submit a written response to be received at the Contracting Office no later than 15 days after the date of publication of this notice, which shall be considered by the agency.  The written response shall reference solicitation number N6893620R0111 and provide a capability statement that clearly indicates the firm’s experience, assets, background, and ability to perform the required work without compromising the quality, accuracy, reliability, and schedule.”

All responsible sources must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at the following website: https://www.sam.gov/SAM/.  

Written responses shall be submitted by e-mail to the point(s) of contact listed below no later than 15 days from this notice date. (POCs information auto-populates via table above.)

Going forward, all new entities registering in GSA's System for Award Management (SAM), as well as existing registrations being updated or renewed, will require the submission of an original, signed notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number.  Effective June 11, 2018, entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov to apply only for federal assistance opportunities such as grants, loans, and other financial assistance programs, have a notarized letter on file within 30 days of registration.  Additionally, Effective June 29, 2018, all non-Federal entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov, have a notarized letter on file within 30 days of registration.  It is recommended that all interested parties be aware that processing this additional information may take several days and are proactive in maintaining the SAM registrations in an "Active" status as the government cannot award to an entity without an "Active" SAM registration.
