Full Description
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD announces its intention to procure F/A-18E/F Infrared Search and Track (IRST) Pod Block II weapon replaceable assemblies (WRAs), specifically the Fuel Tank Assembly (FTA) and Sensor Assembly Structure (SAS), and performance of final system integration. Final integration shall ensure all IRST Block II WRAs function correctly when integrated to form a complete system. In the case a given WRA does not function properly at the system level, potential offerors must be capable of troubleshooting and adjudicating such issues. Potential offerors may be required to design, build, or acquire special test equipment (STE) to aid in the production of IRST Block II WRAs. The procurement is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (C)(l) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." As the contractor for the IRST system, Boeing has the manufacturing knowledge, experience, and technical data required to fulfill this requirement within the time required.
This synopsis is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Responsible sources may submit a Statement of Capability and Qualifications to the Contract Specialist listed demonstrating their ability to perform the Government's requirement and shall provide proof of approved facility and personnel clearances necessary to meet the delivery schedule required within 15 days from the publication date of this announcement. The Government will utilize the capability statements received solely to confirm the sole source acquisition approach or to reconsider a competitive procurement. 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 notice will be reviewed and may impact the Government's acquisition decisions as they relate to this requirement. A determination not to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the United States Government. For small business or subcontracting opportunities, contact Boeing at (314) 233-1599.
