THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE. The following information is provided to assist the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, New Jersey in conducting market research of industry on its ability to provide the Government’s requirement of E-6B APU Tooling in support of Fleet Support Team (FST) located at Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE), Cherry Point, North Carolina. The requirement of 112 line items of tooling is for a new capability for Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Depot capability standup. The tooling is required for stand up of disassembly and assembly of the APU. The Pneumatics FST does not currently have E-6B APU Tooling for disassembly and assembly of the APU. The FST at FRCSE does not have the capability to provide the services. NAWCAD Lakehurst, New Jersey intends to negotiate on a noncompetitive basis with Pratt & Whitney, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the required E-6B APU Tooling who is the sole owner of all intellectual property, which includes the technical manuals and tool drawings, as well as the basic design engineering data necessary for the Government’s requirement.
