This synopsis is being posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website located at http://www.fbo.gov, the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) website located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Acquisition website located at http://www.crane.navy.mil/acquisition/synopcom.htm. FBO is the primary point of entry to be used when access to synopses and solicitations from the World Wide Web is required. However, the NECO webpage as well as the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Acquisition webpage serve as alternatives if the FBO website is unavailable. Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division plans to enter into a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with L-3 Communications - Electron Devices Division, 960 Industrial Road, San Carlos, CA, 94070-4194. The FFP contract will cover a 21-month period for an effort to modernize AN/ALQ 99 (V) Tactical Jamming System's Band 5/6 Transmitter Output Traveling Wave Tube (OTWT). The current OTWT is a 1960's design, is difficult to manufacture and has a low production yield rate. The program objective is to implement changes in design and fabrication to increase the yield to at least 75% and reduce the time for processing and test using modern design tools and techniques. This requirement will be negotiated on a sole-source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The basis for restricting competition is the lack of detailed drawings/specifications, test procedures and test stations in addition to duplicative costs and time that would be required to reverse engineer the system. The solicitation will be available on or about 18 NOV 2009 at FedBizOpps located at http://www.fbo.gov and at NECO located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/. No hard copies of the solicitation will be mailed. Responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. It is the responsibility of interested offerors to monitor FedBizOpps and/or NECO for any additional amendments that may be issued. Offers must be submitted in the format specified in the solicitation. Submitting a bid from the NECO website by clicking on "Submit Bid" does not guarantee offers will be received by the proper person in the correct format.
