- Description
- 1. Introduction The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Specialized and Proven Aircraft Program Office PMA-226, Adversary Integrated Product Team (IPT) is issuing a special notice for the sole source contract for the installation of F-5 N/F Capability Upgrade (Block Upgrade program), modification, and overhaul as part of the F-5N+/F+ Avionics Reconfiguration and Tactical Enhancement/Modernization for Inventory Standardization (ARTEMIS) program. Please be advised the Government intends to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Tactical Air Support, Inc. (Tactical Air) with a planned award in 2nd quarter FY 21. At this time Tactical Air is the only known source for integration of the Block Upgrade Program, to include kit procurements, into the ARTEMIS F-5 aircraft and is capable of performance during this ordering period without an unacceptable delay in aircraft delivery to the Fleet.� ARTEMIS aircraft are currently in a non-flyable/preserved status which requires grouping block upgrade system integration, modifications and, aircraft, engine overhaul.� Grouping these efforts will eliminate duplication of efforts, specifically aircraft/engine build-up and tear down, procurement of obsolete weapons replacement assemblies and the requirement for multiple functional check flights.� As a result, the program will be more efficient resulting in shortened turnaround times and significant reduction in risk to the U.S. Government ensuring current readiness requirements are met.� This synopsis will be used to determine if sources are capable of satisfying the agency�s requirements without an unacceptable delay of aircraft delivery to the Fleet or if, according to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 2. Special Notice: Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD) intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.� The ARTEMIS program will repatriate sixteen (16) F-5E and six (6) F-5F Tiger II aircraft and associated forty-four (44) engines previously owned by the Government of the Swiss Confederation (SAF).� As part of repatriation, these aircraft will require integration of the Block Upgrade Program and all associated pre-requisite technical directives, re-baseline of repatriated aircraft for all Phased Depot Maintenance (PDM) tasks and coincident repairs, completion of 1,800 hour engine inspection, and completion of J85-21B to J85-21C engine conversion. NAWC-AD intends to award a sole source single award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP) contract to Tactical Air Support, Inc. for a five (5) year ordering period from 03/15/2021 to 3/14/2026.
