Introduction The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Specialized and Proven Aircraft Program Office PMA-226, Adversary Integrated Product Team (IPT) is issuing this sources sought for the establishment of a Post Production Engineering and Integrated Logistics Support service contract to ensure maintainability and supportability throughout the remaining lifecycle of the F-5N/F aircraft in the Naval inventory. Northrup Grumman Company (NGC) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the F-5N/F to provide aircraft Engineering and Logistic Support services as well as establishment of a Special License Agreement (SLA) for specific OEM owned and maintained Intellectual Property (IP) and processes that would be purchased as a license for Government Purpose Rights or Specifically Negotiated License Rights . The expected or anticipated types of IP information or data to be associated with the SLA are NGC Reports (NORs) developed as result of OEM engineering and maintenance events, OEM Repair processes, Usage Spectrums, Structural Inspection information, Fatigue Testing, Flight Test analysis and results, Finite Element Models with supporting documentation, and other technical data items. Specific Engineering and Logistics Service requirements include but are not limited to: performing engineering/technical investigations, providing recommended solutions, analyzing supply requirements and lifecycle logistics; providing engineering and logistics source data for and/or preparing ECPs and associated validation/verification kits; maintaining the System Safety and Configuration Management Programs; providing technical support for Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and support equipment; and, maintaining and updating technical documentation, data and publications. This contract will also be used for studies and analyses of the airframe and associated subsystems necessary to maintain the F-5N/F aircraft. NAVAIR anticipates these requirements can only be met by the OEM and consider these requirements as being an enduring effort/service throughout the remaining lifecycle of the F-5N/F aircraft. This announcement will be used to determine if sources are capable of satisfying the agency’s requirements or if, according to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Information received will be considered solely for determining capability to meet this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. 2.
