SYNOPSIS Concentrator Test Set Type: TTU-518/E, PN: 1779AS500-2 The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst intends to issue an award on a Sole Source basis with Carleton Life Support Systems (Cobham), Inc. (Cage 99251) for the procurement of a quantity of one (1) Concentrator Test Set Type: TTU-518/E, PN: 1779AS500-2, NSN: 4920-01-429-8089. This item is a part for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) F/A-18D Program and is used alongside the air source On-Board Oxygen Generating System Test Set to provide continuous oxygen to the aircrew. The Government intends to procure the above items under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), FAR 6.302-1. For the Government to procure another “asset” or procure this “asset” from another source would incur costs not expected to be recouped through competition. Any other sources would require the Government to fund a Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), First Article Test (FAT), and a Test & Evaluation (T&E) effort. Procuring an alternate asset would force the FMS Partner to utilize an asset that is not supported, compatible, or interchangeable with the USN-approved configuration. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT POSSESS THE TECHNICAL DATA PACKAGE/DRAWINGS TO ALLOW FOR A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT. All responsible sources may submit a response which may be considered by the Government in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract. Responses must be received within fifteen (15) days of publication of this notice.
