This effort is for Repair/Rework/and Maintenance, Engineering and Logistics Support Services, Research & Development (R&D), Test and Evaluation (T&E), Training, Data Collection, and Travel as required in support of Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMUAS), PMA-262 and Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA), PMA-290, PMS-435 which falls under the Submarine Systems Program, and Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). Job Orders shall be within scope, issued within ordering period and be within the maximum total dollar value of approximately $3,360,588 over a five-year period. Each Job Order will be synopsized.

SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT – The proposed Agreement is for the supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source. Argon St. Incorporated, 12701 Fair Lakes Cir Ste 800, Fairfax, VA 22033, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) (statutory authority 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1)), only one responsible source. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of sufficient technical data, extensive duplication of costs to include re-engineering, re-certifications, environmental qualifications to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirement through any other source. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
