- Description
- Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD, intends to issue a definitive, commercial contract on a sole source basis to Bell Helicopter of Hurst, TX for the production and delivery of two (2) Bell 407 Analog Helicopters with an option to buy three (3) Bell 407 Digital (GX) and/or Analog Helicopters as available. This action is intended to be in accordance with FAR Part 12. This Bell 407 Helicopter procurement will support production of the MQ-8C Fire Scout Endurance Upgrade Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The proposed contract action is for Bell 407 commercial helicopters, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The Bell 407 helicopter was selected by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC) for inclusion in the MQ-8C Fire Scout UAS design. It is the only known system configuration that meets the minimum requirements for production of the MQ-8C Fire Scout. Bell Helicopter is the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the commercial Bell 407 helicopter and the only known supplier of the air vehicle. Additionally, FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii)(A), states products may be deemed to be available only from one responsible source when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to the requirement. The Government will consider all information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract effort based upon any responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses shall be made in writing by E-mail, U.S. mail or facsimile to the attention of Deborah Borges or Erik Barkhimer using the contract information provided in this synopsis. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Bell Helicopter Textron attention: Stacey Washington, Small Business Liaison Officer, Email: swashington@bh.com or Phone: (817) 280 1793.
