The Naval Air Systems Command intends to place an order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with McDonnell Douglas Corporation (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Boeing Company) of St. Louis, Missouri 63166, for the procurement of non-recurring efforts required to validate flight envelopes for degraded modes of the F/A-18E/F aircraft. Specifically, asymmetric leading edge flap deflections and other failures will be studied so that safe, clear, flight test validated envelopes can be established for the fleet. McDonnell Douglas is the designer, developer, sole manufacturer and integrator of the F/A-18 aircraft in its various configurations and is the only source with the knowledge, expertise and facilities necessary to accomplish this effort within the timeframe required by the Government.
