J&A Posting ( Contract:FA8119-14-C-0002-P00001)

This contract involves an increase in quantities for the overhaul of B-52 aircraft fan bypass air ducts under the existing contract FA8119-14-C-0002, originally awarded in December 2013. The increase includes additional quantities for three specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs): 1560-00-775-3341FG, 1560-00-794-4375FG, and 1560-00-795-4376FG, corresponding to parts numbered 35-8275-1, 35-8270-501, and 35-8270-502 respectively. The modifications extend beyond the original contract scope, necessitating this separate synopsis to comply with federal acquisition regulations. The contract's anticipated award date was January 8, 2014, with responses due by January 31, 2014. Delivery and duration will follow the terms of the original contract. The procurement will be conducted as a sole-source negotiation under FAR 6.302, with Merrill Corporation, doing business as Mission Support, as the current contractor. Interested parties may express their interest, but competition is not guaranteed, and the government retains discretion over the procurement approach. Mandatory contract provisions, including Unique Identification (UID) requirements if item unit prices exceed $5,000, apply. An ombudsman is available to address contractor concerns confidentially during proposal development. The items are intended for overhaul and repair services delivered in accordance with preventive maintenance schedules for B-52 aircraft, with all administrative and technical coordination managed by the contracting officer provided in the notice.
