This government file details a request for OEM technical services to repair the USNS CODY's SEA-FLIR230 Forward Looking Infrared Camera System. The repair, identified under contract N00000-00-X-0000, Item No. 0412, is categorized as "A" and dated September 8, 2025. The performance period is scheduled from October 6-25, 2025, at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Virginia. The contractor will be responsible for furnishing one FLIR Power Supply. Key tasks include a site visit for inspection of the inoperable camera system, providing a Condition Found Report (CFR) with discrepancies, and submitting a final comprehensive report detailing system deficiencies, tests, alignments, adjustments, settings, configuration changes, and recommendations for corrective actions. Contractors must consult General Technical Requirements (GTR) and allow 24-48 hours for base access requests. Points of contact for the project include William Rivero, MSC Electronics Representatives Marvin Gregory and Roman Vinas, and Shelby Therrien from General Dynamics Missions Systems for OEM services.
This memorandum justifies the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold, specifically for technical services from General Dynamics-Mission Systems (GD-MS) for a Forward Looking Infrared Camera System. The determination is based on GD-MS being the sole responsible source due to proprietary rights in technical data, software access, and diagnostic tools essential for repair. The item is also critical ship equipment, posing a hazard if it fails. Additionally, there is an unusual and compelling urgency due to an ongoing CASREP and the risk of using untested products. GD-MS is the only OEM technical service capable of providing compatible support for the existing system on the USS CODY T-EPF 14, ensuring mission success and compliance.
