AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole-source, firm fixed price task order to The Boeing Company under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-05-G-0026 to support biofuel flight test evaluations for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft. This effort focuses on assessing the capability of these aircraft and their subsystems to operate using a 50/50 mixture of standard petroleum-derived jet fuel, such as JP-5, and a synthetically derived component, specifically Hydro-Treated Renewable Jet fuel. The project aims to establish a protocol for clearing other Boeing aircraft for alternative fuel use and includes defining aircraft capabilities, providing safe-for-flight recommendations by February 28, 2010, and identifying necessary tests and analyses for all Boeing aircraft currently in Navy service. Additional requirements for the contractor include providing corporate lessons learned from the commercial introduction of biofuels, identifying data needed to evaluate self-sealing fuel tanks in combat areas, and conducting laboratory tests to quantify the dielectric constant of the biofuel. This award was justified under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because The Boeing Company is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the F/A-18 aircraft, possessing the exclusive technical data and expertise required to fulfill the government's needs. The contract is managed by the Naval Air Systems Command office located in Patuxent River, Maryland.
