PRE-SOLICITAITON NOTICE The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), PMA-265 (Program Office for F/A-18 & EA-18G Aircraft), intends to procure spare United States Navy (USN) F414-GE-400 engines and modules with Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 funds. The projected requirement will include eight (8) engines, 17 after-burner modules, and 17 low pressure turbine modules. The required delivery schedule is not yet determined. NAVAIR intends to issue a sole source solicitation to General Electric Aviation, Engines (CAGE 99207) under the statutory authority 10u.s.c. 2304(C)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” GEAE is the sole designer and developer of the F414 engine and has been solely responsible for the engine requirements since development of the engine for the F/A-18E/F aircraft. Only GEAE has an established supplier base and manufacturing processes that are critical for production of the F414 engines.

THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP), BUT RATHER A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ISSUED AS A MARKET RESEARCH REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), PMA-265 (Program Office for F/A-18 & EA-18G Aircraft), may have a requirement to procure spare United States Navy (USN) F414-GE-400 engines and modules, potentially funded with Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 or FY 2020 funds. NAVAIR is seeking information from industry to determine potential contractors capable of manufacturing engines similar to the General Electric F414-GE-400 to power the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft, as required by DFARS PGI 206.302-1. The General Electric F414-GE-400 engine is a 22,000-pound class afterburning turbofan engine. The engine features an axial compressor with 3 fan stages and 7 high-pressure compressor stages, and 1 high-pressure and 1 low-pressure turbine stage. At a weight of 2,445 pounds, the F414-GE-400 has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 9. It incorporates advanced technology with the proven design base of its F404 predecessor - for example the F414 features a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) system - to provide the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The Government is looking to identify interested and capable sources only. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or enter into a contractual agreement. The Government is not obligated to pay for information submitted in response to this request. Capable contractors are requested to provide a capabilities statement that demonstrates the respondent's ability and qualification necessary to show competitive capability in providing an engine to power the F/A-18E/F aircraft. In addition, please provide your company's CAGE code. All properly marked proprietary data received in response to this notice will be protected from release outside of the Government. All capability statements shall be submitted no later than 1000 EST on 10 May 2019. Responses shall be submitted electronically to the designated Contract Specialist, Marion Bronson-Cruce, in Microsoft Word format or Portable Document Format (PDF) at the following email address:marion.bronsoncruce@navv.mil
