- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD intends to negotiate and award a sole-source, firm fixed-price delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-10-G-0009 with Martin-Baker Aircraft Company, Ltd (MBA), Higher Denham, Middlesex, England for Ejection Seat Endurance (ESE) cushions, in support of the F/A-18 Navy Aircrew Common Ejection Seat (NACES) program to support the Royal Australian Air Force's requirements; FMS Case: AT-P-GQY. The Government anticipates the delivery order for a quantity of 54 Seat Pan Cushion Assemblies and 53 Backrest Cushion Assemblies. Martin-Baker Aircraft Company, Ltd is the sole manufacturer of the NACES and the F/A-18 NACES ESE cushions that are currently deployed throughout the fleet. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, responsible interested parties may submit a proposal in which they identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider all information received by 15 November 2012, 1530 EST. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for any information received. No telephone responses will be accepted. For information contact Patrick Abell, Code 2.4.2.2.1, Telephone (301) 757-5908, or via email: patrick.abell@navy.mil. As the sole source designer, manufacturer, and integrator for the NACES, Martin-Baker Aircraft Company, LTD is the only company that has the ability, resources, technology, and documentation necessary to modify, develop, produce, maintain, and support this system. Award of a contract to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs associated with testing, integrating and fielding of any other readily available system. Moreover, there would be significant additional expense for any required development, modification, drawings, tooling, and production/plant set-up for any system that does not have a readily available alternative. Consequently, any attempt to qualify another source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is FAR Part 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Expressions of interest in subcontracting should contact Derek Lewis of Martin-Baker Aircraft Company, Ltd at DLewis@martin-baker.co.uk. Contractor Name and Address: Lower Road, Higher Denham, Near Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB9 5AJ, England, United Kingdom. Estimated period of performance is 6 months. Numbered Notes 22 and 26 apply. Note: Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services. However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.
