The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD intends to award a commercial item contract to Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell), on an other than full and open competition basis, for the procurement of Non-recurring Engineering (NRE) required to update a Honeywell proprietary Overhaul and Repair Instruction, to allow it to be applicable to P-8A Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) in support US Navy (USN) requirements. Planned award date is September 2022 and with the effort to be completed within 1 year of award. The effort shall 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.” Honeywell is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, technical expertise, and technical data necessary to furnish the contemplated supplies and/or services in a timely manner. BACKGROUND: Honeywell is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the USN P-8A fleet APU and has developed a proprietary ORI applicable to specific Commercial 737 operators, to allow the current APU load compressor shroud to be replaced with bare metal shroud during repair to eliminate load compressor seizing. As the original designer, developer, and manufacturer of the P-8A fleet APU, Honeywell is the only company that possesses the complete set of technical data and drawings to manufacture the 131-9B APU and the proprietary ORI to make changes to the current APU load compressor shroud. Since NAVAIR does not have access to the relevant source data and rights to the ORI developed by Honeywell, it would be unable to independently update the ORI to be applicable to P-8A APUs nor verify that an ORI update from another source meet specifications. 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. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this Notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Capability Statements received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Capability Statements submitted should be pertinent and specific in the technical/management/business area under consideration, on each of the following qualifications. (1) Execution: A description of the approach for obtaining and updating the Honeywell proprietary ORI. Due to the fact that Honeywell is the OEM for the P-8A fleet APU, the Contractor must provide licensing agreement(s) signed by Honeywell that clearly demonstrates its ability to obtain access to the technical and engineering source data/ resources associated with the Honeywell 131-9B APU and access to the current proprietary Honeywell ORI. The Contractor must be certified by Honeywell to make changes to ORI. (2) Any other specific and pertinent information as it pertains to this particular area of procurement that would enhance our consideration and evaluation of the Capability Statement. Interested parties are advised against submitting a Capability Statement/Proposal that merely mimics information in this Notice, provides brochure-like information, or provides general information.
