Contractors must be certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) in order to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Export Controlled Information. Access to CUI is limited, to a single point of contact (POC) per CAGE code, who is listed as the Data Custodian on the DD 2345 and approved by Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The DD 2345 must be approved prior to requesting access to CUI in SAM.gov. Contractors are responsible for coordinating with their CAGE code’s Data Custodian POC to request access to CUI. For additional information, visit the DLA website for the Joint Certification Program: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/.
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products and commercial services. This announcement constitutes an intent to solicit from a single source per FAR 13.106-1(b)(2). Sourcing the requirement from an alternate vendor is expected to result in cost duplication and unacceptable delay to the government.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Point Mugu, Point Mugu Sea Range has the requirement to purchase equipment and services from Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions.
REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION: See Attachment 01 Statement of Work (SOW) for a description of the supplies and services. This SOW is marked as CUI. Please note the disclaimer at the beginning of this notice about the requirement for JCP certification. The government will NOT consider requests to email the attachment. The intended contract type is Firm-Fixed Price.
The proposed contract action for which the Government is soliciting and negotiating with only one responsible source is within the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to award to Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions located at 2 Highwood Drive, Bldg. 2, Suite 200, Tewksbury, MA 01876; Telephone number (978) 654-4800; however, this notice of intent does not obligate the Government and does not constitute a commitment by the Government to award a contract.
This announcement is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any firm believing it can fulfill the requirement stated in Attachment 01 may submit a written response which shall be considered by the agency. The Government is required under 10 U.S.C. 4753 to obtain certain information on the actual manufacturer or sources of supplies it acquires—see Section L of Attachment 02. Written responses to this notice shall be submitted by e-mail to the point(s) of contact listed here no later than 15 days from the notice date.

If encrypted email is not available, the vendor shall submit an email request to the CS to send the vendor a DoD SAFE “Drop Off” link. The Government will delete, and thus will not consider, any files containing CUI or proprietary/restricted markings that are received without proper encryption. Questions and comments are highly encouraged; however, the Government is not obligated to answer all questions received. An opportunity for a site visit WILL NOT be offered.
