Bell-Boeing is the only contractor currently under contract to deliver the requirements listed, given the complexity of training system enhancements required and the level of data required to implement the program requirements. Bell-Boeing is the only source that possesses the: necessary engineering data; aircraft design, performance, EW system and flight test data; flight control and mission computer software; concurrency design and upgrades; technical skills; requisite knowledge of the design and fabrication; performance and operational characteristics of the CV-22 aircraft and training devices, and is the only source for certain aircraft contractor furnished components specifically related to this requirement. Therefore, Bell-Boeing is considered the sole source possessing the knowledge, system data and components, and experienced personnel necessary to modify this trainer in parallel with the current aircraft configuration necessary to fulfill the government?s requirements. A solicitation will be issued on or about 17 November 2006. This procurement will result in a FFP contract modification. See numbered note 22 (substitute fifteen for forty five days).
