- Description
- The Air Force is issuing this repair sources sought announcement as a market survey for repair of the F-16 Combiner Assembly listed below, for the purpose of conducting market research. The Government is seeking potential sources for repair of the following asset(s): NSN: 1270-99-179-7577WF Part Number: 049836 Noun: Combiner Assembly Responses to this announcement shall consist of an initial White Paper (not to exceed 3 pages) describing the offeror's capabilities and experience with regard to trouble shooting, testing, and repairing the F-16 Combiner Assembly. The Government does not own any parts lists or Air Force technical orders listing the parts/pieces of these combiners nor do they own any repair manuals. The Government does not own the technical data package. The Government does not have any test equipment for the F-16 Combiner Assembly. Should a requirement for this repair service develop, the statutory authority that will be used is 10 USC 2304(c) (1), Justification: Supplies (or Services) required are available for only one or a limited number of responsible source(s) and no other type of supplies or service will satisfy agency requirements. The potential contract action would be for the support and repair of the NSN asset(s) listed above, for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one, or a limited number of source(s) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1: Only one responsible source. It is currently considered that Qioptiq, Ltd is the only source that has the requisite skills, equipment, capabilities, system expertise, proprietary drawings, and resources to accomplish the required repair of these items. The engineer has determined that only sources that have met qualification requirements will be considered to perform this repair. Subject to the Government's consideration, a viable source, not already qualified to provide the requisite services should submit a concise and program specific response presenting sufficient information to substantiate that they have (1) access to the proprietary drawings and the legal right to use them in performance of repair services for the U.S. Government or the ability to get them, (2) the necessary knowledge and understanding of the requirements; (3) employees with satisfactory qualifications to perform the work; and (4) the necessary equipment, facilities, and material or the ability to obtain them to appropriately repair the Combiner Assembly assets listed above. This notice is a sources sought notice, and is not a request for competitive proposals, quotations or an invitation for bid. Response is voluntary and the Government assumes no liability to reimburse contractors for either the effort or the associated costs to respond, or for any information provided. These costs remain solely the responsibility of the responding contractor. Information provided will be used solely for acquisition planning and market research purposes in determining the competitive atmosphere for this requirement. This request for sources sought information does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement will be accomplished and responding to this request in no manner guarantees a contract will be awarded to the respondent. The information provided is to the best of the Government's knowledge of plans, desires, and general situation as it exists at this time. This requirement is in the acquisition planning phase and, therefore, all information provided herein is potentially subject to change. For contractual information contact Julianne B. Gibby, (801) 775-2360, via fax at (801) 7770389, or via email at julianne.gibby@hill.af.mil. For technical information contact Jack Jones (801) 775-4587 or via email at jackie.jones@hill.af.mil.
