AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a Boeing subsidiary, for the full-rate production and support of the Advanced Multi Purpose Display (AMPD) system for the F/A-18E/F Lot 28 aircraft. This one-year contract, solicited under NAVAIR number N00019-03-R-0095, will cover up to 177 AMPD units including spares. The AMPD system will be forward installed into the aircraft and must meet specified performance and interface requirements. The contract scope includes production as well as extensive support such as engineering investigations, change proposals, integration and testing, spare and repair parts, technical support, and integrated logistics, with deliveries planned across multiple U.S. locations beginning within 14 months after contract award. This sole-source acquisition is justified under statutory and regulatory authority citing Boeing’s unique position as the F/A-18E/F and AMPD developer and integrator, holding exclusive expertise, technical data, and experience necessary for successful production and integration to meet fleet requirements. The Lot 28 AMPD introduces a new display glass, necessitating additional testing and requalification efforts, presenting schedule risks that Boeing must mitigate to ensure smooth aircraft integration. While not a request for competitive proposals, the Navy invites interested parties to demonstrate interest and capability. Additional technical documents and inquiries can be directed to the assigned contract specialist.
