Synopsis: Naval Air Systems Command, V-22 Joint Program Office, PMA-275 intends to negotiate and issue a Delivery Order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-17-G-0002 to the Bell Boeing Joint Program Office on a sole-source basis to provide support to the V-22 Joint Program Office’s ongoing V-22 flight test program at Naval Air Station Patuxent River and Hurlburt Air Force Base. The Contractor shall provide the supplies and/or services necessary to provide flight test support to conduct Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation, Acceptance, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) testing on V-22 aircraft. Support shall consist of on-site support at Naval Air Station Patuxent River and Hurlburt Air Force Base and support from Bell and Boeing home office sites. The strategy of the V-22 flight test program is that HX-21 conducts all V-22 common projects, MV-22 projects, CMV-22 projects, and FMS projects while the 413th only conducts tests that are specific to the CV-22. Both sites conduct a mix of projects associated with development, procurement, and sustainment efforts. This action is being awarded on a sole source basis to the Bell Boeing Joint Program Office in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR Part 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Bell Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and producer of the V-22 Tiltrotor aircraft and is the only known source that possesses the requisite knowledge and expertise required to perform this effort. Also, Bell Boeing is the only source that possesses the totality of engineering and technical data required to perform these efforts. The proposed Delivery Order is for supplies and/or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any capability statements received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
