THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando, in support of the T-45C Student Naval Aviator (SNA) training pipeline, PMA-273, PMA-205, Commander Naval Air Forces, and Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) intends to award, on a sole source basis, a delivery order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), contract number N00019-21-G-0006, with The Boeing Company, Saint Louis, MO under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” The subject effort includes, but is not limited to program activities for nonrecurring engineering, logistics, installation, and testing associated with integration of Automatic Dependent Surveillance, Broadcast (ADS-B) out functionality in six T-45 2F138F OFTs. The Contractor shall modify the OFT Host computer software code, Instructor Operating Station (IOS) software code, the cockpit repeater software code, and develop an emulated Digital Control Panel (DCP). T-45C aircraft are no longer in production and Boeing is currently the primary designer, developer, manufacturer, and supplier of T-45C aircraft and systems. The flight simulator systems require concurrent incorporation of advanced technologies specific in design or application to the T-45C aircraft. Boeing is the only contractor that can efficiently build and upgrade T-45C trainers concurrently with changes being made to the aircraft because only Boeing has access to the requisite, aircraft design data, aircraft specific software and simulated models during the design/development of the aircraft. Additionally, only Boeing possesses the unique and specialized engineering capability, resources, subject matter expertise, and technical data critical to satisfying the Government’s minimum requirements. Furthermore, Boeing has already successfully completed ADS-B (out) upgrades on twelve OFTs located at two training sites and has established management, engineering and manufacturing processes that are critical for expeditious completion of these requirements. Award to any other contractor would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that would not be recovered through competition and would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling T-45C training requirements. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. (c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). No solicitation documents are available. This notice of intent is neither a request for competitive proposals nor a solicitation of offers. Small businesses who are interested in pursuing subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to reach out to Boeing’s Small Business Liaison Officer via email at Christine.a.johansen@boeing.com. Matters pertaining to this notification may be directed to Tracy Hunter at 407-380-8212 or via email at tracy.l.hunter18.civ@us.navy.mil or Allison Laera at 407-380-4659 or via email at allison.m.laera.civ@us.navy.mil.
