The Kuwait Air Force (KAF) has a requirement for the F/A-18C/D Program to evaluate the performance of the AN/AVS-9(V) Image Intensifier Set at the Intermediate (I-level) of maintenance. The AN/AVS-9(V) is a helmet mounted direct view night vision system that provides operators with improved situational awareness during periods of low natural illumination. The test set is used to troubleshoot, repair and perform final tests on the AN/AVS-9(V) goggles. Hoffman Engineering LLC is the proprietary owner and sole qualified manufacturer of the ANV-126A Test Set, and as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, is the only known source that is capable of providing the Support Equipment in the same form, fit and function that meets the KAF’s maintenance requirements. Hoffman does not have any known authorized distributors for this test set. The data necessary to perform the requirement has not been transitioned to the Government and therefore, the Government does not possess the technical data package to allow for a competitive procurement. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate this requirement under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov) is mandatory for consideration. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract.
