- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ, under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1, intends to award a four-year option-type contract, on a sole-source basis, to Red Barn Machine, Inc., Eugene, OR (CAGE: 0E1A0) to procure Engine Oil Drain Tools P/N RBT18713 and Tail Rotor Gearbox Nut Torque Wrenches P/N RBT18582. The Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE) is used during maintenance tasks of the MQ-8C Unmanned Air System (UAS). The MQ-8C requirement is for a base quantity of sixteen (16) each of the Engine Oil Drain Tool and five (5) each of the Tail Rotor Gearbox Nut Torque Wrench. Four (4) option periods shall be included for both PSE items, each option with a maximum quantity of ten (10) each. The total requirement covers a potential maximum quantity of (56) Engine Oil Drain Tools and (45) Tail Rotor Gearbox Nut Torque Wrenches. The Engine Oil Drain Tool was designed and developed by Rolls Royce for their commercial 250 series engine maintenance tasks. The tail Rotor Gearbox Nut Torque Wrench was designed and developed by Bell Helicopter for maintenance efforts on their commercial 407 Helicopter fleet. Both Rolls Royce and Bell Helicopter have retained proprietary rights to their applicable drawings. This PSE is the only PSE that has been designed, tested and approved by the Navy for use with MQ-8C maintenance activities and the Rolls Royce and Bell Helicopter fleets. Both Rolls Royce and Bell Helicopter have provided manufacturing rights to Red Barn Machine Inc. for the Engine Oil Drain Tool and Tail Rotor Gearbox Nut Torque Wrench. Red Barn Machine is capable of manufacturing these items and is in possession of the required drawings. The Government does not possess the technical information necessary to prepare an adequate purchase description. Market research confirmed that no other source is in possession of the drawings to manufacture this item. Any other PSE would have to undergo extensive and exhaustive evaluation testing to determine if it could satisfactorily meet the requirements for the MQ-8C UAS. Red Barn is the only source that can manufacture and supply the PSE in accordance with the Rolls Royce and Bell Helicopter drawings. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov) is mandatory for consideration. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit an award of a contract.
