- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate with Bell Helicopter Textron Inc (BHTI) of Fort Worth, TX on a sole source basis for the non-recurring engineering to upgrade the Airborne Network Switch (ANS) for the UH-1Y and AH-1Z Aircraft. The ANS is a single Weapons Replaceable Assembly (WRA) that will transfer plain text data via IEEE Ethernet standards between varying WRAs in the aircraft; effectively adding a new, scalable high-speed and high bandwidth data bus in parallel to the existing 1553B buses. This requirement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2), in that BHTI is the only responsible source and no other type of equipment will satisfy Marine Corps requirements. BHTI is the designer, developer and sole producer of the ANS and the only known source that possesses the data, technical skills and requisite knowledge of the design, fabrication, performance, operation, maintenance and support characteristics to fulfill this need in a timely manner. This notice is for information purposes only. For subcontracting opportunities please contact the following: Brad Bryan Contracts Administrator Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. P.O.

However, all proposals received within forty-five days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
