15 -- F/A 18 (A-D) Post Production Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Support

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to award multiple delivery orders under a Basic Ordering Agreement to McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a Boeing subsidiary, for post-production support of F/A-18 aircraft related to Foreign Military Sales. This contract covers a range of sustaining logistics and engineering services including material procurement, analysis, planning, data research, aircraft support, and other miscellaneous assistance as requested by FMS customers from countries such as Australia, Canada, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain, and Switzerland. Since McDonnell Douglas is the original designer, developer, integrator, and manufacturer of the F/A-18 family, they are the sole source deemed capable of fulfilling these requirements. The delivery orders will be negotiated exclusively with McDonnell Douglas on a sole source basis, emphasizing the specialized nature of the work. The contract is identified as a presolicitation under the NAICS code 541330, and is administered by the Naval Air Systems Command located in Patuxent River, Maryland. For subcontracting inquiries, contacts are directed to a Boeing representative, ensuring potential partners can explore collaboration opportunities. The contract specialist overseeing this acquisition is Tracey L. Logan.
