The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Patuxent River, MD, intends to leverage the Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-21-G-0006 to The Boeing Company (Boeing) for the negotiation and award of the transition of System Demonstration Test Article 3 (SDTA 3) and Fatigue Test Article (FTA) full production builds to the Mid America Airport (MAA) facility to establish the final MQ-25A production line. The procurement will include the ramp up in labor enhanced learning on production, installation of one MQ-25A Ground Control Station at MAA, and training and support operations of Naval Maintenance Personnel (NMP). For this proposed action, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other type of suppliers or services will satisfy agency requirements." Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the MQ-25A unmanned aircraft and therefore, Boeing is the only contractor with the experienced staff, necessary plants, equipment, suppliers, and technical understanding of what is required by the orders, resulting in the unique capability to address the interrelated impacts on each other and on the MQ-25A program.
