The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division intends to procure six each EOSS cameras, P/N 204595-2001, via a modification to the subject contract to increase the total quantity from 5 each to 11 each. The camera is an integral part of the Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) Electro-Optical Console and was developed specifically for Navy EOSS application. The prime contractor and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the EO console, Northrop Grumman Corporation, developed the camera's source control drawing setting forth the unique Navy performance requirements (15 micron pitch, spectral selectivity from 0.8 to 2.1 microns, high dynamic range and ability to image single 15 ns laser pulses). The subcontractor, Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC, is the only known source to provide a camera that can meet the requirements. Northrop Grumman is the only source possessing the technical data and drawings to ensure that the unit is Ready-for-Issue (RFI) before being shipped or used for replacement. Northrop Grumman, as the depot and supply point, will perform acceptance testing of each camera prior to sell-off and placement into fleet spares pool inventory to support future repairs. The authority for this sole source procurement action is 10 USC 2304(c) (1), FAR 6.302-1. This is not a request for proposal; however, all parties interested in providing a response must do so not later than 15 days after the date of this notice. A determination by the Government not to open this procurement to competition based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
