- Description
- Parts List The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a limited competition basis with IDSC Holdings, LLC Snap-On Industrial of Kenosha, WI and their authorized distributors for Common Support Equipment (CSE) hand tools and toolboxes in support of the US Air Force, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Japan, and FMS Israel Joint Strike Fighter F35 Tool Control Program. This procurement is for a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) 8 program. Since 2011, IDSC Holdings, LLC Snap-on Industrial has had a five year exclusive agreement with Lockheed Martin, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the JSF, for the JSF tools and toolboxes, and continue to work closely with the Lockheed Martin procurement and tool management personnel. IDSC Holdings, LLC Snap-on Industrial independently developed and created the Design Control Activity for this program. The required tools and toolboxes have been previously designed and purchased by the JSF program at the squadron level; however, the JSF program did not procure the data to compete this requirement. Each specific tool and toolbox is designed to accomplish a specific maintenance task on the JSF aircraft. The toolboxes are fitted with foam inserts into which the exact designs of the required tools are etched. This provides the fleet with the capability of ensuring that all the tools are accounted for upon completion of the maintenance tasks. Further, training is conducted utilizing these identical tool and toolbox kits. In order to ensure that all servicemen trained on servicing the JSF aircraft and equipment can perform their designated tasks no matter where they are located. JSF tools are the same from one squadron to another. Should another manufacture provide the tools to be procured, the requirement will then exist to re-cut the foam insert for the tool which is a costly procedure which will not be recouped through competition. Furthermore, there would then be inconsistency from one squadron to another in the type of tools utilized for each task and would present a logistics problem should replacement ever be necessary. IDSC Holdings LLC, Snap-On Industrial tools and toolboxes are essential to satisfy the agency need. Since these are items of CSE, they are commercially available tools and they are available through the OEM and their distributors. Therefore, IDSC Holdings LLC, Snap-On Industrial and their authorized distributors are the only sources available today to meet the programs requirement for this brand name equipment. The Government intends to procure the above item under the authority of 10 USC 3204 (c) (1), FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not to request for competitive proposals: however the Government will consider all responses received to this notice. A determination by the Government, not to open the requirement to competition based upon the response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be received within fifteen (15) days of publication of this notice. The Point of Contact is Judith A. Dastis, email: judith.dastis@navy.mil, (732) 323-7339. The Request for Proposal/Solicitation is expected to be released on or about 30 July 2014 and will be posted on the NAVAIR homepage located at http://www.navair.navy.mil/.
