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 Project Office on a sole-source basis for the procurement of recurring Iridium Antenna retrofit kits and installations for the MV-22 aircraft. This action is being awarded on a sole source basis to the Bell Boeing Joint Project 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." The limited rights possessed by the Government to the required technical data preclude competition of this effort. The base Non-Recurring Engineering efforts along with the initial retrofit recurring efforts have already been contracted to Bell Boeing. In addition, the Iridium Antenna installations are prerequisite for other retrofit installations previously contracted to Bell Boeing. Bell Boeing possesses the unique, requisite engineering knowledge, skills, and rights to the technical data for the MV-22 Iridium Antenna retrofit effort to perform the recurring engineering associated with the retrofitting of the Iridium Antenna onto MV-22 aircraft. 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 6.302-1. 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
