    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in Patuxent River, Maryland, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Applied Physical Electronics, LC (APELC) for the modernization of the Vertical Electromagnetic Pulse Simulator (VEMPS). The current VEMPS system, developed between November 2014 and September 2016, requires upgrades to meet new testing standards, and APELC is uniquely qualified to perform this work due to their original design and proprietary knowledge of the system's components. Interested parties may submit a capabilities statement to express their interest, but the government will only negotiate with APELC under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, and no competitive proposals will be accepted. For further inquiries, contact Bennett Wilson at bennett.g.wilson2.civ@us.navy.mil or call 240-717-9231.
