Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) - Air Force Subscale Aerial Targets (AFSAT) – Air Force Subscale Aerial Targets Lots 17-21 Production, Peculiar Spares, and Contractor Logistics Support (CLS). – The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Test and Training Division, Aerial Targets Branch, Contracts Office, Eglin AFB, FL is planning to award a sole source follow-on contract to Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems (KUAS), located at 5381 Raley Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95838-1701 for procurement of BQM-167A subscale aerial targets, peculiar spares in support of the BQM-167 AFSAT Program, and contractor logistics support in FY21. Spare components are needed to ensure availability of AFSATs to meet current and projected test and evaluation and training mission requirements. These targets will be used by the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group (WEG) to test and evaluate air-to-air weapon systems and for evaluation/training exercises on the Gulf Range Complex and other authorized Department of Defense (DoD) test ranges. In addition to the BQM-167A targets, KUAS will provide CLS activities which include being the Contractor-Inventory Control Point (C-ICP), Source of Supply (SOS), Out of Warranty Repairs (OWR) and Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) for all peculiar support equipment (PSE), end items, subassemblies, and component parts for the BQM-167A system. The Government does not own a technical data package and/or software data rights for the BQM -167A target system and its peculiar support equipment and therefore cannot provide this data to interested parties. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this proposed acquisition is 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The Government has determined that the only way to prevent any adverse impact to critical mission activities that could result from a break in the continuous availability of subscale aerial targets is to issue a follow-on contract to the incumbent vendor. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This NOCA neither constitutes a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does it restrict the Government to any specific acquisition approach. This NOCA is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment to a contract by the Government. Contracting POC is Mrs. Sadie Kovash at 207 West D Avenue, Building 349, Suite 214, Eglin AFB, FL 32542-6853 or at Sadie.Kovash@us.af.mil.
