Boeing Peculiar Support Equipment (MC Part Numbers) for P-8A

Industrial Automation, Inc. was awarded a fixed-price IDIQ contract by the Navair Warfare Ctr Aircraft Division of the Department of Defense for the procurement of various Boeing Peculiar Support Equipment for the P-8A aircraft airframe. This equipment is essential for performing a wide range of airframe maintenance, installation, and removal tasks at both the organizational and depot levels of maintenance. The contract was issued under solicitation N68335-17-R-0058 and falls under NAICS code 336413. The procurement is authorized as a limited competition set aside for small businesses authorized by Boeing, with a total estimated value of 42,104,000 dollars and a five-year ordering period. This specific acquisition method was justified because Boeing is the sole designer of the equipment and the government does not possess the necessary technical data packages to facilitate full and open competition.
