- Description
- PURSUANT TO FAR 15.201(e) - THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. The following information is provided to assist the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ, on behalf of the AIRWorks Program Office, in conducting market research of industry on its ability to provide technical engineering services for the missionization of the C-27J Spartan aircraft into the HC-27J aircraft configuration for the United States Coast Guard (USCG). NAWCAD Patuxent River, MD has been tasked by the USCG to missionize the C-27J Spartan aircraft with nineteen (19) different sub-systems that include a Multi-Mode RADAR, Electro-Optical Infra-Red (EO/IR) High Definition turret, several other sensors (i.e. Direction Finding AIS) and communications equipment. This Mission Suite (MS) will be integrated by the United States Navy maritime mission processor capability, Minotaur, providing the USCG with their 3rd generation maritime patrol capability. This requirement is to procure the technical engineering services and data, as well as the additional hardware as applicable for Airworthiness Certification, Test and Evaluation (T&E) and necessary modifications to integrate prototype/install and the testing of the HC-27J MS into the C-27J aircraft. The resulting efforts will include data elements to support changes to the electrical, mechanical and structural configurations of the aircraft by providing engineering technical data and services. NAWCAD Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Leonardo S.p.A (CAGE A1512), as Leonardo is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that has the proprietary engineering analytical modeling, analysis, integration, installation and testing capability to provide reports that address all aspects of the MS modification. Government analysis of market research and the responses to RFIs N68335-16-R-0263 and N68335-16-R-0263A, and Pre-Solicitation Notices N68335-19-R-0095 and N68335-19-R-0095A, concluded that only Leonardo S.p.A. possesses the data, capabilities and resources necessary to execute all of the tasks identified in the previous notices as well as this notice within the timeframe required to meet the USCG requirements. This RFI is also being posted under N68335-20-RFI-0065 under PSC 1680 and NAICS 336411.THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and is issued in conformance with DFARS PGI 206.302-1; it does not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Proposal (RFP), or a Request for Quote (RFQ). This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this RFI, and the Government will not compensate the respondent for any cost incurred in developing the response to this RFI. Respondents are notified that a formal solicitation may not necessarily result from this RFI. Availability of any formal solicitation may be announced under a separate betaSam.Gov announcement.

Any comments provided may or may not be included in a formal solicitation. The Government will not release any information marked with a proprietary legend received in response to this RFI to any firms, agencies or individuals outside the Government without written permission in accordance with the legend. Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
