The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a commercial item contract action to CFM International (CFM), located in Ohio, on an other than full and open basis, procuring approximately seven (7) new production CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated Front Stator High Pressure Compressor (HPC) Cases (P/N: 1559M30G15) to support US Navy (USN) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) requirements. Planned award is September 2020 with all deliveries completed not later than September 2021. The effort will be procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” CFM is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the CFM56-7B27AE engine, which is the only certified engine for the P-8A. As the original designer, developer, and manufacturer of the CFM56-7B27 engine, CFM is the only company that possesses the complete set of technical data and drawings to manufacture CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated Front Stator HPC Cases. NAVAIR does not have access to the relevant source data to independently verify that CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated Front Stator HPC Cases from another source meet specifications. Therefore, CFM is the only source capable of timely fulfilling the requirements. BACKGROUND: The CFM56-7B27AE is the only engine certified for the P-8A and CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated High Pressure Compressor Stator Cases are required to maintain configuration consistency with the engines and aircraft that have been delivered. Currently, the Government neither possesses nor has sufficient rights in the necessary data developed by CFM for the CFM56-7B27AE engines to certify any cases that are not new production CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated Front Stator HPC Cases. SUBMISSION DETAILS: Interested persons may submit a Capability Statement identifying their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. Only Capability Statements received on or before the Response Date indicated in this Notice will be considered by the Government.

(2) Execution: A description of the approach for obtaining and delivering new CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated Front Stator HPC Cases. Due to the fact that CFM is the OEM for the CFM56-7B27AE engines, each CFM56-7B27AE SermeTel Coated Front Stator HPC Case must be from a CFM approved source.
