The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Fixed Price contract, on a sole source basis, with Rockwell Collins Optronics, Inc., CAGE 66689, 400 Collins Rd, Cedar Rapids, IA, 52498-0505. The contract will procure up to 60 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Simulated Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) Systems over a five-year period to be used in the F-35 Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) program full mission simulator. The Simulated HMDs shall be designed for use in the JSE full mission simulator. The Simulated HMDs shall utilize visor technology for visual display. The Simulated HMDs shall replicate the capability and limitations of the JSF operational HMD. This includes a number of technical elements such as field of view, image resolution, weight and balance, brightness and contrast ratio, and light transmission as well as the physical configuration. The initial order of the Simulated HMDs shall be delivered and ready for use in March 2022. The Simulated HMDs must have either been previously evaluated to confirm that they meet the requirements above, or have prototype units undergo evaluation before production begins. The Government does not possess the technical data to manufacture the required hardware or the technical data required to perform the non-recurring integration support necessary to integrate this equipment within the JSE architecture. Market Research has not found any other sources capable of meeting the Government’s current requirement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements". Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by 9:30 AM EDT 15 August 2020 will be considered by the government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses to this notice must include the company name, point of contact, address, area code and telephone number, electronic mail (e-mail) address and company literature sufficient to determine the capability of this company to perform this effort. No phone inquiries will be entertained. Responses shall be made in writing by e-mail to the attention of Tom Kracinovich, thomas.kracinovich@navy.mil.

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in support of the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) is seeking sources that can provide high-fidelity Simulated F-35 Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) Systems to be used in high fidelity F-35 simulation systems. The Simulated HMDs shall be designed for use in the F-35 simulation systems using out-the-window visual dome display systems. HMD graphics are required to be in focus at the distance of the dome radius. The Simulated HMDs shall utilize visor technology for visual display to accurately match the performance of the F-35 aircraft HMD. The Simulated HMDs shall replicate the capability and limitations of the F-35 operational HMD. This includes a number of technical elements such as field of view, image resolution, weight and balance, brightness and contrast ratio, and light transmission as well as the physical configuration. The Government does not possess the technical data to manufacture the required hardware or the technical data required to perform the non-recurring integration support necessary to integrate this equipment within the simulation architectures. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Navy is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) Website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this notice.
