AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to negotiate and award an Advance Acquisition Contract (AAC) in Fiscal Year 2016 and a fixed-price contract in FY 2017 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) 2 of the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System. This sole-source contract covers the procurement of three aircraft, one mission control system, and one forward operating base, as well as the acquisition of long lead components, materials, and parts necessary to maintain the planned production schedule. Northrop Grumman is the exclusive designer and developer of the MQ-4C Triton, and awarding this contract to any other source would result in prohibitive duplication of costs to the government. The government intends to proceed without competitive proposals under the authority that only one responsible source can fulfill these specific requirements, but it invites interested parties to express interest and provide capability information, which will be considered solely to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. All communications and responses must be submitted in writing to designated contracting officials, with no phone inquiries accepted. Additionally, companies interested in subcontracting opportunities are directed to contact Northrop Grumman’s Socio-Economic Programs Sector Manager. The contract is managed through the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division in Patuxent River, Maryland.

Full Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), NAS Patuxent River, MD, intends to negotiate and award an Advance Acquisition Contract (AAC) for Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) 2 in Fiscal Year (FY)16 and a fixed price type contract for LRIP 2 in FY17 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGC), San Diego, CA, on a sole-source basis to procure the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) (formerly known as Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) UAS) and related supplies and services. The LRIP 2 AAC will procure long lead components, material, parts, and associated efforts required to maintain the MQ-4C Triton UAS planned production schedule. LRIP 2 will procure three aircraft, one mission control system and one forward operating base. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(C)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only one Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements" for the proposed action for LRIP 2. NGC is the sole designer and developer of the MQ-4C Triton UAS. This contract is a follow-on contract for the production of a major system and award to any other source other than NGC would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to the requirement. The Government will consider all information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract actions based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses shall be made in writing via e-mail to the attention of Jeff Norris or Cheri Nims using the contact information provided in the synopsis. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation: Ms. Vicky Harper-Hall, Socio-Economic Programs Sector Manager, e-mail: Vicky.harper-hall@ngc.com or phone (301) 331-3824.
