The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source contract to Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems (NGC), Network Communication Systems, One Rancho Carmel, San Diego, CA 92128-3403, to procure a total of seven hundred and sixty four (764) units of Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (JCREW) Increment One Build One (I1B1) Systems to support Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) efforts. This requirement will include Technical Data Sheets, System Manuals, Engineering Services, Depot Support Services, and the development of a Level III Technical Data Package (TDP) to support a competitive full rate production contract in FY17.

The JCREW I1B1 system includes three distinct capabilities (mounted, dismounted, and fixed site). These systems will support Initial Operational Capability (IOC), establishment of an initial production baseline, and validation of the system production TDP. The JCREW I1B1 systems are also required to meet the schedule for Physical Configuration Audit (PCA). The RFP for these requirements will be released on Q1 FY15. The contract will have a period of performance of 36 months after contract award.

This synopsis update is due to an increase in requirements for the United States Navy from 264 to 422 units and to include the United States Air Force requirements of 342 units. This revised quantity of 764 is necessary to meet both USN and USAF LRIP/OCO objectives.

This contract will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) and the Federal Acquisition Regulations 6.302-1, "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". No other source has the technical capability to perform the work described herein in the time frame required to meet the Navy's operational needs without resulting in unacceptable delays and a substantial duplication of costs.
