Intent to Sole Source Teflon Collars
Solicitation # N68520-27-RFPREQ-KN00000-0146
The Commander Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) intends to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Kamatics Corporation for the application and machining of KAron liner profile configurations for F/A-18EFG Nose Landing Gear (NLG) Steering Collars. This requirement is designated as sole source under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) because Kamatics is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the proprietary, trademarked KAron liner, a resin-based coating with Teflon particles. As the OEM, Kamatics exclusively possesses the technical data and intellectual property required to perform these modifications. The contractor must be a NAVAIR and Boeing approved supplier for the F/A-18E/F/G Landing Gear Program and maintain CMMC Level 1 or above compliance per DFARS 252.204-7021. The BPA consists of a twelve-month base period with the option for nine additional twelve-month extensions, not to exceed a total duration of 120 months. Performance will take place at the contractor's facility, with finished collars shipped to Fleet Readiness Center Southwest in San Diego, California. Key deliverables include a Certificate of Compliance (CDRL A001) for each collar and a detailed Field Service Report (CDRL A002). The government will evaluate the new liners at FRCSW within five business days of receipt. The agreement includes a one-year warranty on all replaced parts, covering material, labor, shipping, and handling at no additional cost to the government.
