The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), NAS Patuxent River, MD intends to issue a Delivery Order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N0001922G0011 to Collins Aerospace on a sole source basis for the procurement of supplies and services in support of Series IV T56-A-427A engine Fuel Pump Meter Units (FPMUs), Propulsion Control Management Units (PCMUs) and Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). The LRUs support will include equipment procurement and engine components and repair for U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. This requirement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 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." Collins Aerospace is the sole owner of the aftermarket rights for the T56-A-427A engine components from Rolls Royce, and therefore is the only contractor with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data that can meet the Government's requirements on a timely basis and in a cost effective manner. The BOA will be available for issuing orders for a period of five (5) years. THIS NOTICE IS PUBLISHED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for any responses received. There are no commitments by the Government to issue any solicitations, make an award or awards, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties before award of a contract for the efforts mentioned above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.

This Sources Sought Notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 206.302-1(d). Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD, intends to issue a sole source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Collins Aerospace on a sole source basis for the procurement of engineering and logistics supplies, and services in support of Series IV T56-A-427A engine Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), including engine components and equipment procurement and component repair for U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 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." Collins Aerospace owns the technical data and aftermarket data rights for specific Series IV T56-A-427A engine LRUs. Therefore, Collins Aerospace is the only source that can provide engineering and logistics support for maintenance of the T56-A-427A engine FPMU and PCMU LRU components. The U.S. Navy does not have the technical data and data rights necessary to conduct a competition. Collins Aerospace is unwilling to sell the data rights to the Government. Award to any source other than Collins Aerospace for each of the requirements listed above would unacceptably delay the E-2 mission. The time to run a full and open competition, have a new source complete the design efforts, set up production equipment, fabricate and qualify new hardware/software would unduly delay the fulfillment of these critical requirements by approximately five years. As E-2 are currently in-theater, delays such as those described above would significantly reduce the operational effectiveness of these platforms. These additional delays will result in missing required aircraft modification/retrofit installs on the aircraft going through Depot-Level Planned Maintenance Intervals (PMIs) resulting in grounding aircraft, thus significantly impacting fleet readiness. Therefore, the Government has determined that Collins Aerospace is the only responsible source capable of providing supplies and/or services without an unacceptable delay in fulfilling the Government's requirement.The BOA will be available for issuing orders for a period of five (5) years. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Responsible parties, however, may identify their interest by responding to the requirement with a capability statement. The Government will consider all information received prior to the closing date of this notice. Unless stated herein, no additional information may be made available. Requests for the same will be disregarded. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete these efforts based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses shall be made in writing by email, U.S. mail or facsimile to the attention of Nathan Blankenship or Evan Riedell using the contact information provided in this synopsis.
