- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to Wyle Laboratories, Inc., 1960 East Grand Avenue, Suite 900, El Segundo, CA, 90245-5023 for Engineering and Logistics Support Services to provide highly specialized operational and technical assistance and subject matter expertise for the Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD), deployment and sustainment going throughout Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) until Full Rate Production (FRP). The period of performance on this procurement will be a one (1) year contract. The primary place of performance is Arlington, VA. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B, in that the services are only available only from the original source. In this case the acquisition is for a follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly specialized services. If any other vendor was selected to perform these services it would lead to unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. This sole source award is to prevent a gap in services that will occur as a result in a slip of schedule in awarding the follow-on action. Any gap would result in a termination of engineering and logistics activities at a critical time of United States Air Force (USAF) Initial Operational Capability (IOC) declaration which is scheduled for August 1, 2016. There is a surge of activities that will take place from now until the USAF declares IOC that required fully integrated, ramped up personnel to perform their day to day functions. Not having this individuals functioning in their current capacity until USAF IOC declaration will lead to a delay in the schedule which results in loss of tactical aircraft available for combat missions globally. In addition to the USAF not being mission ready, this delay will also result in missions and millions of dollars in overrun. There are several other production contracts that are all positioned to support USAF IOC and if that is delayed those contracts may no longer be viable. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by NAVAIR. All packages received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Electronic media responses to this announcement must be received no later than 12:00pm EST on 16 Mar 2016. Responses may be emailed to krista.argabright@jsf.mil and clifford.stevens@jsf.mil.
