Description

Pre-Solicitation Notice “ Procurement of new and upgrades to existing F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircrew and maintenance training systems and sub-systems. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando, in support of the F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G Squadrons, PMA-265, PMA-205, Commander Naval Air Forces, and the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G programs with The Boeing Company, Saint Louis, MO, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, śOnly One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. ť The expected period of performance of the contract is five years and the anticipated overall value of the contract action is $90,000,000. The subject efforts include, but are not limited to: Software Configuration Set (SCS) upgrades, visual upgrades, hardware, threat systems, fidelity enhancements, courseware and curriculum, additional devices, discrepancy report efforts and product support. Both the F/A-18E/F and the E/A18G aircrafts are still in production. Boeing has been the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and supplier of the F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircraft and systems. The training systems require concurrent incorporation of advanced and emerging technologies specific in design or application to the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft. Boeing is the only contractor that can build and upgrade F/A-18E/F and EA-18G trainers concurrently with changes being made to the aircraft; because only Boeing has access to the requisite aircraft design data, aircraft specific software and simulated models during the design/development of the aircraft. Additionally, only Boeing possesses the unique and specialized engineering capability, resources, subject matter expertise, tooling, facilities, aerodynamic and structural appraisal of fatigue effects databases, manufacturing techniques, and technical data critical to satisfying the Government ™s minimum requirements. Furthermore, Boeing has the established supplier base, in addition to management, engineering and manufacturing processes, that are critical for the continued support of these requirements. This Pre-Solicitation Notice is not a request for competitive proposals. It is a notice that outlines the Government ™s intent to award the IDIQ contract on a sole-source basis with Boeing. However, interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit detailed technical capabilities, ability to obtain FA-18E/F and EA-18G aircrew and maintenance elements and simulation technical data, and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted by email to Mr. Anthony McEntegart at Anthony.mcentegart@navy.mil and Kathleen Dougherty at Kathleen.dougherty@navy.mil in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2003, no later than 20 February 2017. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than TEN (10) pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Small businesses can inquire with the Boeing Small Business Liaison Officer: Varick Williams at 714-896-5836 or varick.d.williams@boeing.com for possible subcontracting opportunities; small businesses interested in subcontracting/supplier opportunities are also encouraged to notify the Gov ™t POC identified below as well as the NAWCTSD Small Business Deputy at leslie.faircloth@navy.mil. This pre-solicitation notice is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, a sole source award for the procurement of new and upgrades to existing F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircrew and maintenance training systems and sub-systems IDIQ will be pursued. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). Matters pertaining to this notification may be directed to Anthony McEntegart at 407-381-8614 or via email at Anthony.mcentegart@navy.mil and/or Kathleen Dougherty at 407-380-8189 or via email at Kathleen.dougherty@navy.mil.
