The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (10920 Technology Place, San Diego, CA 92127). The authority for this non-competitive action is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), as BAE Systems is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and sole proprietor of the required proprietary software licenses, hardware, and associated cross-domain security support.
