- Description
- JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION •1. Contracting Activity. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Headquarters •2. Description of the Action Being Approved. This Class Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizes and approves the issuance of orders on a sole source basis under the Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N68335-16-G-0008 with Teledyne Controls, 501 Continental Boulevard, El Segundo, CA 90245. Orders issued will procure commercial aircraft components and commercial associated supplies and commercial services necessary to support the E-6B program. The authority to act under this CJ&A expires five (5) years from date of contract award. •3. Description of Supplies/Services. Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) orders will entail performing and providing engineering analysis, reporting capability, technical, logistics, software support services, supplies and data necessary for the Digital Flight Data Acquisition Unit (DFDAU) and related software to assist the E-6B program (PMA-271) with supporting fleet requirements and readiness objectives: (a) Integrated Logistics Software Support (ILSS); (b) Engineering Services; (c) Field Service Engineering (FSE) services; (d) Field Service Representative (FSR) services; (e) obsolescence management; (f) technical support; (g) technical manual updates; (h) studies and analysis; (i) training services; (j) Software and Hardware development; (k) development, manufacture and installation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs); (l) Software Licenses and Support Fees; and (m) Kits. The contractor will furnish supplies or services when ordered by the government in accordance with the procedures specified in the BOA. These supplies/services will be provided primarily at Tinker Air Force Base (AFB) in Oklahoma City, OK but may be required at other locations where the E-6B aircraft may be. Prices for the supplies or services will be set forth in orders issued against the BOA. Firm Fixed Price orders may be issued using Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2021 Aircraft Procurement, Navy (APN) and Operation and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) funds with the estimated values of each appropriation listed in Appendix A. •4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition. 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. •5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority. In accordance with NAVAIR Instruction 13120.1D, the E-6B aircraft has a requirement to remain in service for at least 45,000 flight hours through approximately 2045. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the DFDAU and related software, only Teledyne possesses the necessary knowledge, experience, capability, and technical data required to provide related software support services. The Government did not procure Limited Rights or Government Purpose Rights to the Teledyne DFDAU software. Teledyne is unwilling to sell E-6B DFDAU proprietary data because the designs are still in use and the company stated the release of this data would compromise its competitive position in the commercial market place. •6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable. As part of market research, a sources sought notice was released on the FEDBIZOpps website on 12 Aug 2015 and one response was received from Hilton Software LLC. A thorough analysis of their capabilities and the requirements of the procurement was completed and it was determined that they were not capable of satisfying the requirements. After discussion, Hilton Software LLC. concurred with the government's decision on 8 Sep 2015. In accordance with FAR 5.201(a), NAVAIR posted a synopsis on the Federal Business Opportunities website on 8 Sep 2015, for the proposed contract action. No responses have been received to date and any future responses will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer prior to award. In accordance with FAR 5.201, each future order will be independently synopsized on the FedBizOps website. The Contracting Officer will evaluate all responses received prior to the award of each order. Additionally, any interested parties will be referred to Teledyne Controls for possible subcontracting opportunities. No additional market research was conducted for the reasons discussed in paragraph 5 above. Teledyne Controls is the only company capable of fulfilling the government's requirement. •7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost. In accordance with FAR 15.402, the Contracting Officer shall ensure that all supplies and services procured for this effort are acquired at a fair and reasonable price. An analysis of the proposals will be performed by technical analysts and contract specialists, with the assistance of Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) auditors as needed. The Contracting Officer will use data other than certified cost and pricing data (catalog and market prices, sales to governmental and non-governmental entities, and historical pricing) to establish a fair and reasonable price. A detailed report developed as part of the Government's evaluation will be utilized to establish a NAVAIR position. As discussed in this paragraph, the Contracting Officer will use cost and price analysis as the basis of negotiating a fair and reasonable price for the supplies and services covered by this Class Justification and Approval. •8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition. For the reasons set forth in paragraph 5, NAVAIR has no plan at this time to compete future contracts for these types of services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVAIR will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
