- Description
- Description: The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a contract to The Boeing Company (TBC), CAGE Code 81205, of Seattle, Washington for the procurement of the Large Aircraft Infrared Counter Measures (LAIRCM) Systems for the C-40A Aircraft in support of the Medium Lift C-40A Tactical Airlift Program Office (PMA-207). This action will be awarded on a sole source basis under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10, U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". As the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the C-40 LAIRCM system, TBC is the only known source with the requisite knowledge, experience, expertise, technical data, tooling, test equipment, and facilities necessary to ensure safety, reliability, and readiness and to provide the requisite in-depth engineering and programmatic support for the design, development, incorporation, and delivery of the C-40A LAIRCM system in a timely and cost effective manner. This effort is for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) in support of the C-40A aircraft to be completed in calendar year 2021. TBC, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the C-40A aircraft, will be the prime contractor. The upcoming effort will consist of the NRE required for the analysis, design, testing, and certification of a stand-alone DoN LAIRCM system for the existing Navy/Marine Corps C-40A (737-7AF) fleet. The Contractor will be responsible for the analysis, design, testing, and certification activities related to the integration of DoN LAIRCM system into the existing C-40A aircraft that will leverage previous certifications acquired for the Air Force C-40B/C aircraft. The contractor will develop and obtain FAA/MCO approval for a Project Specific Certification Plan that will determine the level of approval and artifacts necessary to demonstrate compliance with all applicable airworthiness requirements. The Contractor will develop and conduct all ground and flight testing, data reduction, and reports required for the commercial certification and will provide site support for DoN system performance testing. As part of the DoN LAIRCM certification, the Contractor will provide operator flight and training manuals, principals of operation, maintenance training, and maintenance instructions required for the operation and maintenance of the modified aircraft in order to ensure its continued airworthiness. The contractor will obtain FAA/MCO STC approval for an integrated DoN LAIRCM survivability system on C-40A aircraft. Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Ms. Jan Arana at jan.n.arana@boeing.com or (425) 237-5905. Note: The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any capability statements received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The closing date for this synopsis is 26 June 2018 at 4:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time and contract award is anticipated for April 2019. Questions regarding this announcement should be submitted to the Government point of contact identified herein.
