    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS for the provision of spare parts necessary for the sustainment of the Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) Fire Control and Weapon Control Systems. This procurement is necessitated by the lack of technical data rights for critical subsystems, which precludes competitive acquisition as per Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines. The anticipated contract award is expected in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, with a performance period extending from February 2025 through March 2027. Interested parties may submit capability statements within 15 days of this notice, but the government retains discretion over whether to pursue competition based on the responses received. For further inquiries, interested contractors can contact Robert K. Crowder at robert.crowder@usmc.mil or Cori L. Kirkbride at cori.kirkbride@usmc.mil.
