F-15 Legacy IMIS Sustainment Services

This is a notice of intent that AFLCMC/WWK anticipates issuing a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) definitive contract to provide for the services necessary to sustain and update the F-15 legacy Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS) in support of operational and developmental test (OT/DT) efforts. This acquisition shall secure: the services required to sustain the OT/DT variant of legacy IMIS to include critical Built-in-Test (BIT) logic updates, the services necessary to ensure consistency between OT/DT flight test units and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sustained test labs, and validation and verification of the organic variant of IMIS. The IMIS OEM is The Boeing Company. The contract shall include a basic period of performance of twelve months and one six month option to extend services in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.217-8. The proposed contract action provides for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, The Boeing Company, CAGE: 76301, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This contract is a follow-on to FA8505-14-D-0007. Highly specialized technical expertise possessed by Boeing is necessary to perform the instant requirement. The United States Air Force (USAF) expects an unacceptable delay of 30 months in fulfilling the instant requirement if the legacy IMIS software were to be re-engineered. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
