V-22 ThermoCouple Wiring Kits and Installations

The Naval Air Systems Command, specifically the V-22 Joint Program Office, has awarded a firm fixed price delivery order to Bell Boeing JPO for the procurement and installation of V-22 thermocouple wiring kits and rudder installs. This contract was awarded on a sole source basis under the authority of Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as Bell Boeing is the sole designer and producer of the V-22 aircraft, making them the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency requirements. This action falls under the broader Class Justification and Approval 21-0188 and the V-22 Program Basic Ordering Agreement, which allows for sole-source orders related to engineering change proposals, software infrastructure, testing, and obsolescence management. The work is performed in Amarillo, Texas, and is part of a larger strategic effort with an estimated total value of 1.273 billion dollars spanning from fiscal year 2022 to 2027.
