- Description
- TITLE: FA4809-08-Q-0253, Sole Source Acquisition for a Night Goggle Virtual Terrain Board The 4th Contracting Squadron, Seymour Johnson AFB, NC intends to award a sole source purchase order to Night Readiness, LLC for a one Night Goggle Virtual Terrain Board. Night Readiness, LLC is the manufacturer and sold distributer of this product. Manufacturer: Night Readiness, LLC This purchase will be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract lies solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive requirement. The closing date for this synopsis is 29 September 08 at 4:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. The anticipated award date is 30 September 08. For information regarding this purchase, please contact Judy Taylor at (919) 722-5410 or SSgt Nitra Latta at (919) 722-5408. APPLICABLITY OF AUTHORITY: The required item is available only from one responsible source and is the only product compatible with F-15E training requirements. Night Readiness LLC is the manufacturer and sole distributor of this product to military installations. The NVG will be used to train F-15E aircrew on NVG operations, tuning and visual illusions/hazards specific to different types of terrain, celestial lighting and ground cultural lighting. Such training is required by AFI 11-2F-15E Volume 1 and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) guidance for aircrew NVG training. Current syllabus training utilizes an antiquated static terrain board. Replacement of this static board is required because it occupies an entire room which is needed for other training devices. The VTB system will replace the static terrain board and offer greatly increased training capability as well as take up much less space. The Night Readiness VTB meets and exceeds all F-15E NVG training requirements and would represent a badly needed improvement to training in a hazardous flight regime (night, low altitude training). The VTB system was developed as a prototype from USAF and USN funded research and development to create high quality NVG classroom training. It has been used to train USAF students for nearly two years. Night Readiness is a primary research contractor with AFRL and is the only company with this proven NVG virtual technology. Award to any other source would result in unnecessary delays and extra costs as there is no other system that is readily available.
