AMSAM-AC-AL-E(M) MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: WAIVER OF SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED SOLICITATION 1. The Director of Material management has identified approximately 62 Tank, Fuel, Aircraft that warrant expeditious action to support the AH-1/UH-1 aircraft programs and priorities. Justification for expeditious action includes: a. General support of fielded AH-1/UH-1 aircraft to improve operational readiness and preclude NMCS conditions. b. Support of overhaul programs to improve NMCS support for selected critical components and prevent production line stoppage conditions. As a result, this is an approved, competitive souce controlled acquistion with American Fuel Cell and Coated Fabrics, Engineered Fabrics Corporation, and Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. These control sources either have the stock on hand or can provide immediate delivery or they are a manufacturer of the item. 2. These items are urgently needed items which requirer the earliest possible delivery to release high priority backorders and preclude zero balance stock positions. The Procurement Work Directive were initiated based on emergency buy requirements for minimum quantities required to sustain readiness and cite Uniform Materiel Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS) Priority Designators of 02 and 03. 3. The need for these requirements could not previously be obtained under normal contracting and production Posted 09/16/98 (W-SN250647). (0259)
