The Naval Air Systems Command PMA-265 plans to issue a sole source delivery order to Boeing under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement for continued support of the F/A-18 Automated Maintenance Environment (AME) during the calendar years 2015 through 2018. This contract will encompass sustaining support, fleet technical assistance, Information Assurance activities, and the development or updating of Class IV Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs). Boeing is uniquely qualified to meet the tight schedule requirements due to their existing relationship and capabilities, which is why the government intends to pursue negotiations under FAR 6.302-1, allowing for a sole source award. Potential competitors must have the necessary facility and personnel clearances or demonstrate the ability to acquire them promptly to meet the schedule demands. They must also submit a Statement of Qualifications to verify their capability to fulfill the government's needs within the required response time. The solicitation was posted in December 2014 by the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, located in Patuxent River, Maryland, and is categorized under NAICS code 336411, which pertains to aircraft manufacturing. The synopsis serves informational purposes, and the contracting officer contact is provided for further inquiries.
