- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando intends to negotiate on a sole source basis a Contract for the procurement of initial Training Device Spares (TDS) for the E-2C Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) Device 2F110 located at Naval Station (NS) Norfolk, VA and Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Pt. Mugu, CA under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". The only source for the initial TDS is Aero Simulation, Inc. (ASI). The anticipated value for this contract is $561,000. The procurement of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component will ensure accurate functioning of the training device. Ensuring the availability of a material support package after the trainer has been upgraded is critical in fulfilling supportability requirements. In the absence of the timely availability of spare parts, valuable training assets would not be available diminishing trainee effectiveness. The spare part must meet form, fit and function requirements to continue device operation and is available only from the OEM which is ASI. The Government does not possess the technical data to procure the initial TDS component competitively. Substitution of the spare part is not possible due to the form, fit, and functionality of the spare part. The spare part functionality is interrelated, thus introducing an unknown component could have degrading effects and/or present possible safety hazards to the trainer which could negatively impact Warfighter training. The part to be procured is ASI part number 272A214400-01, Simulated Throttle Quadrant. No other information is available. This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. It is a notice that outlines the Government ™s intent to contract on a sole source basis with ASI. However, interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit detailed technical capabilities and ability to obtain E-2C OFT Device 2F110 aircraft elements and simulation technical data, and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted by email to Ms. Mary Munroe (mary.munroe@navy.mil) in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2007, no later than February 08, 2013. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than TEN (10) pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This synopsis is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no written challenge to this synopsis is received, a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.303 based on the rationale provided above will be initiated. If conducted as sole source procurement, no further synopsis will be provided.
