Lifetime Buy (LTB) - Data Device Corp: Resolver-to-digital Converter Hybrid IC​

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract modification under contract N0001925C0009 to Lockheed Martin, Orlando, FL, on a sole source basis. This contract will provide a life-of-type buy of 543 units of the original Resolver-to-Digital Converter (RDC) Hybrid Integrated Circuits (P/N 717405153-001 / SD-14623FS-612) supporting the IRST Block II Infrared Receiver (IRR) Weapons Replacement Assembly (WRA). As the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the IRST IRR, IMU, and Processor, Lockheed Martin is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully manufacture the system without causing unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements. Additionally, an award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, "Only One Responsible Source," and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This synopsis is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this synopsis. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date.
