Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) Flight Visualization Data Analysis (FVDA) for F/A18C/D/E/F and EA-18G

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to modify an existing contract (N00019-08-C-0029) for continued performance to complete the Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) Flight Visualization Data Analysis (FVDA) software development efforts for Phase 1 (F/A-18C/D/E/F and EA-18G) and to provide continued support of the MFOQA Engineering Tool (MET). MFOQA is a knowledge management capability and a software-based process that will be hosted on existing Department of the Navy (DON) computers and servers. MFOQA will collect, merge, and analyze pre-recorded aircraft flight data and other available data, such as aircrew information, aircraft custody assignment and organizational hierarchies. It will make the results available to authorized personnel at the operational unit levels. Potential benefits are estimated to be significant improvements in Operational Readiness, Training, Maintenance Management, and Safety. MFOQA will provide a proactive means to highlight positive trends and to identify potential risks in time for corrective action.. NAVAIR intends to award this effort sole source to BGI-LLC, 520 South Main Street, Akron, OH 44311. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the authority found in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. BGI-LLC, a small veteran owned business, was competitively awarded the initial contract.

BGI-LLC is the only vendor that has the technical data and detailed knowledge of the MFOQA system to complete the FVDA software development within the required timeframe without significant duplication of cost and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. The period of performance extension will be 1 December 2012 through 31 May 2014. Numbered note 22 applies. This synopsis is not a Request for Proposals.
