B -- Service Life Assessment Program (SLAP)

The Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection intends to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company for a Service Life Assessment Program (SLAP) focused on its P-3 aircraft fleet. The primary objective of this program is to evaluate the current Total Life Index (TLI) of each aircraft, forecast future TLI based on anticipated missions and operational utilization, and identify the structural and condition-related areas requiring attention. This effort will be conducted through the addition of a firm fixed-price Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to an existing contract, with an expected performance period of nine months. This procurement will be carried out under the NAICS code 541380 and is managed by the Fletc Glynco Procurement Office of the Department of Homeland Security. The announcement specifies that no alternative solicitations or proposals will be accepted as this is a sole source acquisition. Key contacts for this effort include April L. Jennings, the Contracting Officer, who can be reached for inquiries. The contract supports the ongoing maintenance and assessment needs to extend and monitor the service life of critical DHS aviation assets.
