16 -- DEPOT LEVEL MAINTENANCE FOR T-2C/TA-4J AIRCRAFT SOL N00019-R-1651 POC Joan Springer, Contract Specialist (301) 757-8978 or Janice E.Woehrer, Contracting Officer (301) 757 8961 E-MAIL: Microsoft Outlook, springerja@navair.navy.mil. 22 -- This is an amendment to submission number 363844 of 5 August 1999. The U.S. Navy intends to award a requirements contract on a sole source basis to Sabreliner Corporation, Pierre Laclede Center, Suite 1500, 7733 Forsyth Blvd., St. Louis, Mo. 63105 for the requirement for depot level maintenance to the T-2C and TA-4J aircraft under the cognizance of PMA 225. The rational to support this sole source procurement decision as cited in FAR Part 6.302-1(a)(ii)(A) is as follows: (1) The Chief of Naval Air Training has identified only six T-2C aircraft to be inducted into SDLM in Fiscal Year (FY) 01. After FY 01 the depot requirements will be for repair of the T-2C and TA-4J only, not rework, and future repair requirements can not be identified at this time. (2) A portion of the special tooling/equipment at the current contactor's (Sabreliner) facility has been provided by NAVICP to perform the requirements of other NAVICP contracts and will not be provided to a new contractor. (3) The cost to transport the remaining Government furnished equipment to a new contractor far exceeds any cost saving that might be achieved through competition. Posted 08/30/99 (W-SN374066).
