84--Pilot Anti-exposure suit and accessories

The 177th Fighter Wing plans to award a sole source contract to Raven Aerostar for the supply of Pilot Anti-exposure suits and related accessories, including neck and wrist seals, entry and relief zippers, socks, and dry suit air test kits. This contract, contingent upon funding availability, will be a firm fixed-price agreement with delivery to the 177th Fighter Wing facility in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, with items shipped FOB destination. The procurement is authorized under specific federal regulations allowing for other than full and open competition due to the exclusivity of the sole source contractor. The procurement is driven by directives from both the HSG/CC and the Technical Order NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2 and is open for qualified sources to respond by the specified deadline of 10:00 AM on September 29, 2013, although the government reserves the right to proceed without competition based on responses received. All communications must be submitted via email to the designated contracting specialist, with no telephone inquiries permitted. This action is intended to meet an unfunded requirement under NAICS code 336992 and is managed by the Department of Defense office located in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
