AMENDMENT 01: The purpose of this Amendment is to change the point of contact for this effort from Evan Schlisserman to Laurie Jiavaras, with Kalil O'Neal now being an alternate POC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of this notice is to issue Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) to small businesses to provide Naval Air Systems Command Fleet Readiness Center East (NAVAIRSYSCOM-FRCE), Cherry Point, NC support for Prototype, First Article [commonly referred to as Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP)] and production manufacturing. The 48000 SE & ALRE Department designs and develops Operational Test Program Sets (OTPS-hardware, software, and documentation) that will test, diagnose failures and ensure avionics boxes (mission computers, flight control computers, digital displays etc.) are Ready For Issue (RFI). The OTPSs will establish Intermediate and Depot Level test and repair capability in support of the various aircraft platforms and commodities of the US Navy and US Marine Corp. The 48000 Department also designs and develops other Support Equipment (SE) and tooling/fixtures. The equipment developed under individual delivery orders shall be capable of operating at platform mission level and maintenance levels including Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot level as directed by delivery order. The Government will issue individual delivery orders outlining specific required efforts. Each delivery order will have its own specifications that will reference one or more technical areas, which are specified below. The contractor shall analyze assigned maintenance / test equipment and / or avionics systems, and design and prototype required avionics, SE or modifications to each as directed by the individual delivery order.

Future orders will be competed among existing BOA holders at the time of the Request for Proposal (RFP). A BOA is a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between an agency, contracting activity, or contracting office and a contractor that contains: (1) terms and clauses applying to future contracts (orders) between the parties during its term; (2) a description, as specific as practicable, of supplies or services to be provided; (3) methods for pricing, issuing, and delivering future orders under the BOA. A BOA is not a contract. Orders issued under BOAs are the binding contractual actions, and each order issued shall be subject to the contract clauses, provisions, certifications, terms, and conditions of the BOA. The BOA template to be utilized is attached to this notice. See Attachment 1. The Contracting Officer will advertise the BOA through the Federal Business Opportunities website annually, to maximize competition for the duration of the effort. Contractors issued a BOA may receive requests for technical and/or price/cost proposals leading to the award of orders. Future orders may be competed based on a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) or Best Value basis. Specific firm-fixed price and cost reimbursement orders will be competed among the BOA holders. In order to receive a cost-type order, a contractor must have a Government approved accounting system prior to issuance of RFP. Issuance of BOA's will be based on the government's evaluation of qualifications in accordance with the criteria as set forth in this notice. The Government reserves the right not to issue a BOA to a contractor who fails to meet the above stated criteria. BOAs will be issued for a period of five years. There is no guaranteed minimum dollar amount or volume of work that will be ordered under the BOAs. Government funds are obligated only to the extent that a duly issued order creates such an obligation. The BOA can only be changed by modification of the agreement itself and not by individual orders issued under the BOA. Modification of the BOA shall not retroactively affect orders issued prior to the time of the modification. A BOA may be cancelled by either party by mailing or otherwise transmitting 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Any such cancellation shall have no effect on any orders issued prior to the effective date of the cancellation, which shall be 30 days from the date of mailing or otherwise transmitting the written notice of cancellation. Prior to the effective date of cancellation, NAVAIR may continue to place orders under the BOA. Contractors must have representations and certifications registered on the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov. All questions and submissions in reference to this notice will be sent to the Point of Contact for this requirement, Laurie Jiavaras (laurie.jiavaras@navy.mil) and Kalil O'Neal (kalil.oneal@navy.mil).
