- Description
- 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, in conducting market research of industry to identify if there are alternate options to meet the requirement for the procurement of Programmable Entry Panel (PEP) to support the PMA-290 Taiwan P-3 Program. At this time, pending market research results, NAWCAD Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Benchmark Secure Technology (Santa Ana, CA), for this procurement. Benchmark Secure Technology is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of Programmable Entry Panel (PEP), Part Number 8000001. Benchmark Secure Technology, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, owns all proprietary rights to the engineering data and detailed product drawings to perform the required Non-recurring engineering for a re-design of the PEP, removing obsolescence and thereby providing a Military Standard form, fit, and function design of the Taiwan P-3 PEP. Benchmark Secure Technology is the only known source with the requisite knowledge of the design, technical data, fabrication, performance and operational characteristics of the PEP qualified to perform the efforts.� The Government does not possess the technical data package required for the PEP. 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 Federal Business Opportunities announcement. Any requests for copies of the solicitation will be not addressed since this is an RFI, not an RFP. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP. 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. All interested parties should send company and descriptive literature on currently available products and/or services that meet the Navy's requirements, described above.
