NSN 7R-0000-00-000-0000-A0, Qty 1 LO, Deliver to Naval Inventory Control Point Philadelphia PA, RDD 000 -- The Naval Inventory Control Point Philadelphia will be soliciting a proposal for total operational logistics support for the F/A-18E/F (sans engine) from the Boeing Corp. This support includes the just-in-time delivery of spares, management of asset repair, engineering support and integrated logistics support. The requirement demands the aggressive pursuit of system reliability improvements through effective configuration and obsolescence management, technology insertion and innovative product and support improvements. Various operational and repair sites will be supported by this effort. Performance is planned to commence 01 Oct 00 and continue for two years, with one year options to extend the contract an additional three years. The five-year estimated value is $700,000,000. The requirement is restricted to the Boeing Corp., the aircraft prime manufacturer, because it is the only source possessing the full range of technical data, much of which is proprietary, and other capabilities necessary to perform the effort. Further, Boeing is considered the only source capable of providing the whole range of integrated program support that is required. See Note 22, The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only the source(s) previously approved by the government for this item have been solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in the "a href=http://www.navicp.navy.mil/sabs/sas/sascover.htm" U.S. Navy Aviation Supply Office Source Approval Information Brochure. This brochure identifies technical data required to be submitted based on your company's experience in production of the same or similiar item, or if this is an item you have never made. This brochure can be obtained by calling NAVICP-P at (215) 697- 4243. If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVICP-P, submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter which forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered for award under this solicitation. Please note, if evaluation of a source approval request submitted hereunder cannot be processed in time and/ or approval requirements preclude the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs.
