This Naval Air Systems Command effort is for the Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) and concurrent installation of Block-89A upgrade kits in addition to stand-alone installation for modification of Block 82 and Block 89 EA-6B aircraft to the Block 89A configuration. The upgrade will result in the incorporation of common avionics non-development items into the aircraft (ARC-210 radio, embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation system and the integration of an existing high speed integrated circuit card into the AYK-14 computer). The current effort reflects Basic and Option requirements for a total of approximately 12 upgrade kit installations (2 concurrent with SDLM and 8 stand-alone in the Basic and approximately 2 stand- alone Option requirements), in addition to provisioned line items for repair-incident-to-modification (RIM), over and above effort, and installation of government furnished kits (AFCs) should they be required. The Government intends to negotiate a firm fixed price contract with Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC), Bethpage, NY pursuant to Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source. NGC is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the EA-6B airframe, and as such is the only known source with the engineering expertise, source data, facilities and knowledge to provide the required effort.
