- Description
- SOLE SOURCE NOTICE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS/QUOTES The United States Air Force (USAF); Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC); Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC); Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, and Networks (C3I&N) Directorate, Special Programs Division, intents to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics (LM) to develop an Interim Full Motion Video (IFMV) capability that includes an Operational Flight Program build for the USMC F-35B. The authority permitting a sole source acquisition is FAR 6.302-1- "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." Due to the extensive knowledge gained by Lockheed Martin in the development and sustainment of the F35-B aircraft, they maintain expertise of the system hardware, software design, operational attributes, integration, and operation that other contractors do not possess. Lockheed Martin also possesses a unique understanding of the complex airframe and its operation with multiple classified sensors. As such, Lockheed Martin is uniquely qualified to support F-35B operations, and technical studies. An award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements beyond the urgent and compelling need created by the USMC to field this interim FMV technology on the F-35B. Questions, concerns, or responses should be e-mailed to the Contract Specialist, Gregory Ketcham at gregory.ketcham@us.af.mil or to the Contracting Officer, Theresa Forbush at theresa.forbush@us.af.mil, no later than 4:00 P.M. EST on 15 November 2017.
