70--THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT

The Weapons Development and Integration (WDI) Directorate previously purchased four (4) perpetual licensed copies of Wind River Workspace 3.X and VxWorks 6.X for the purpose of developing embedded software for the Curtis Wright DMV-184 embedded computer in the Sentinel Radar. WDI now has a requirement to purchase a year of support and maintenance for the previously purchased software along with three options for additional support and maintenance for a year each. AUTHORITY CITED- The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED- Wind River is the sole provider of this software. Source code is not available for purchase and all products are trademarked. There is no other known supplier who can provide a product with the capability that Wind River provides, nor any other product which fully supports the requirement. Any parties that feel they can meet this requirement should contact MAJ Patrick Schanley via email at [email protected] NO LATER THAN April 14, 2014 at 3:00 PM (CST).
