The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a contract action to The Boeing Company (Boeing), Seattle, WA on an other than full and open basis. The contract action will cover P-8A Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) 6 Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) efforts for design, fabrication, and correction of deficiencies, and associated logistics support requirements. Contract action is planned to occur in 3rd Quarter FY22. The planned period of performance is 6 months. These 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." Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the P-8A airframe, as well as the sole integrator of the avionics systems, and therefore is the only responsible source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data that can meet the Government's requirements without resulting in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Navy’s requirement to procure ECP 6 NRE activities. The P-8A weapon system consists of a basic Boeing commercial 737-800 ERX air vehicle modified to meet Navy requirements, and numerous systems and subsystems for avionics, communications, mission, and weapon capabilities. P-8A ECP 6 provides a significant modification to the P-8A baseline airframe and avionics systems, and includes new airframe racks, radomes, antennas, sensors, and wiring, while incorporating a new combat systems suite with an improved computer processing and security architecture capability at the Higher than Secret level, a Wide Band SATCOM system, an ASW Signals Intelligence capability, a Minotaur track management system, and additional communications and acoustics systems to enhance search, detection, and targeting capabilities. P-8A ECP 6 requires access to Boeing proprietary commercial 737-800 ERX technical data with sufficient rights to use for airframe and avionics modification purposes. The ECP 6 NRE activities contracted under this effort will result in a complete Technical Data Package (TDP) in order to ascertain the engineering specifications necessary to manufacture the components. As the P-8A Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Boeing is the only source that has the knowledge and access to the technical data necessary to create the TDP.
