AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to award a sole source, Firm Fixed Price contract to The Boeing Company for the development of a tailored Technical Data Package for the FPU-13/A Fuel Tank Assembly. This effort is designed to support repair and sustainment activities for the F/A-18 aircraft's Infrared Search and Track system and includes the hosting of Guidance Conferences and In-Process Reviews. Boeing is identified as the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement due to its role as the prime contractor for the system's development and integration. The procurement is authorized under Title 10, U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), as any other source would cause unacceptable operational delays and unnecessary costs to the government. This pre-solicitation notice serves as an informational announcement, though the government has also issued a sources sought notice to evaluate potential alternative capabilities.

Full Description

Show more

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), 47123 Buse Road, Patuxent River, MD 20670, intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to The Boeing Company, St. Louis, MO, on a sole source basis. This contract will provide a tailored Technical Data Package (TDP) for the FPU-13/A Fuel Tank Assembly (FTA) to support repair and sustainment activities, as well as the hosting and support of TDP Guidance Conferences and incremental In-Process Reviews (IPRs). 


As the prime contractor responsible for the overall system development, architecture, and integration of the Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system onto the F/A-18 aircraft, The Boeing Company uniquely possesses the comprehensive knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully develop and deliver the FPU-13/A FTA TDP. Consequently, an award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements and a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. 


The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), as implemented by the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1, "Only One Responsible Source" and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 


This synopsis is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this synopsis. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date. There is no commitment by the Government to issue any solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party before award of a contract for the efforts detailed above. Information provided herein in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract. 


In addition to this pre-solicitation notice, the Government has also issued a sources sought notice to determine if any other sources have the potential to fulfill this requirement. Any responses to the sources sought will be reviewed and may impact the Government's acquisition decisions as they relate to this requirement. 


If you have any questions regarding this synopsis, please contact Gabrielle Blew at gabrielle.j.blew.civ@us.navy.mil or Jessica Myers at jessica.v.myers.civ@us.navy.mil. For small business or subcontracting opportunities, contact The Boeing Company at joseph.l.unger@boeing.com.
