- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ (NAWCADLKE) intends to award a fixed price IDIQ contract for spare parts for portable, microprocessor-based Eddy Current Testing (ET) Systems on a sole source basis with Olympus America Inc., Waltham, MA. The Government does not own the technical data package to compete the requirement for new production units in order to resolve parts obsolescence issues and mitigate impact to mission readiness. Olympus America is the OEM of the currently fielded Eddy Current Flaw Detector, Nortec 2000D+. This unit will not be supported beyond 2020. The replacement model number of the Nortec 2000D+ is the Nortec 600D. The Nortec 600D is capable of being a drop in functional replacement for the Nortec 2000D+. In addition to the obsolescence issues, we are currently operating at a Fleet deficit which is impacting mission readiness. The Nortec 600D has already been evaluated and approved for Fleet usage by cognizant NDI FSTs. In addition to the FST evaluations already having been completed, the usage, setup parameters and screens can be made to mirror the Navy's current unit. This will enable current inspection procedures for each aircraft platform to be utilized without having to research, re-write and update all of the aircraft platform manuals. This will allow for "speed to the Fleet" and mitigate risk to operational readiness due to the estimated three year period required for research and update for each aircraft platform. Furthermore the sole source will avoid drastic cost with additional impact to schedule. Olympus America is the original designer, developer and manufacturer of the Nortec product line and is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience and technical expertise to produce an operational drop- in replacement unit. NAWCADLKE intends to award this contract under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (C)(1), as implemented in FAR 6.302-1. Interested firms may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a 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 responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation will be available for this procurement. Contracting Office Address: Contracts Department Hwy. 547 Attn: B562-3C Lakehurst, New Jersey 08733-5083
