INTENT TO PROCURE PBL95-2 TO 95-10 MOD KITS FOR THE P-3 AIRCRAFT

The contract involves the procurement of PBL 95-22 to 95-10 modification kits for the P-3 aircraft, specifically from Honeywell Inc., designated as a sole source provider under part number 3617687-1. This item is classified as a Critical Application Item and Critical Safety Item, which places importance on configuration control and restricts its commercial availability. The government does not have the technical data package necessary to evaluate alternative offers, so other manufacturers wishing to compete in future procurements must submit a source approval request for evaluation, though this will not be considered for the current order. The delivery period is set at 365 days after the order is placed, with an intended firm-fixed price contract for a quantity of two kits to be fulfilled under Honeywell's existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The solicitation for this order was planned for release on October 15, 2014, with a closing date of October 31, 2014, and it will not be published on the usual DLA internet bid board, requiring interested parties to contact the acquisition specialist directly to obtain a copy. The requested kits will be delivered to the location in Cherry Point, North Carolina. The contract falls under NAICS code 336412, which relates to aircraft manufacturing, and the point of contact for this procurement is James B Oros, who can be reached via email or phone for further inquiries.
