The AMC production contract(s) will provide for the procurement of AMCs (including spares) for retrofit into F/A-18E/F Lots 26 - 29 aircraft. The production support element of this procurement will include, but is not limited to, engineering investigations, engineering change proposals, integration and testing, spare and repair parts, hardware repairs, software maintenance, engineering technical support and integrated logistics support, configuration management and obsolescence management. Estimated procurement quantities in FY 2006 are 80 AMCs plus 14 spares with an additional 274 AMC (plus 42 spares) planned for procurement over the remaining four years. Deliveries will be required within 15 months of contract award or option exercise. The IDIQ contract will provide for development, production and support of the AMC installed on F/A-18 aircraft as well as for variants of the AMC for AV-8B aircraft and for other platforms considering variants of the AMC. The IDIQ contract will consist of both Time and Materials and Firm Fixed Price task/delivery orders to support the following types of AMC related services that may be required: (1) concept exploration, design and feasibility studies in support of new applications and obsolescence redesign for the AMC; (2) Hardware design, development, integration, documentation and pre-production fabrication; (3) Reliability, maintainability, and logistics engineering; (4) Program management, systems integration, and oversight; (5) Logistics and repair support, and obsolescence management; and (6) General scientific and engineering investigations/studies. The estimated yearly labor effort for the IDIQ services is 27,500 man-hours. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." GDAIS is the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the AMC and as such is the only firm with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data to successfully deliver the Type 3 AMC System to meet the requirements of the fleet as well as provide the support for all AMC variants. While this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposal, interested parties may identify their interest and technical capability to respond to this requirement and may submit information which will be considered by the Naval Air Systems Command.
