The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a limited competition basis with Froude, Inc. the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and its authorized distributors for the Government’s requirement for one (1) model model F359-GT hydraulic dynamometer and additional T400 Test Cell critical spares as required by Fleet Readiness Center East, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC. The F359-GT hydraulic dynamometer as well as additional T400 Test Cell critical spares are of a proprietary design that the rest of the T400 test bed is built and designed around. The replacement F359-GT hydraulic dynamometer as well as additional T400 Test Cell critical spares are required to have the exact same interfaces, dimensions, and performance characteristics. The Government does not own or possess the technical documentation (detailed design/manufacturing level drawings, tolerance information, assembly/disassembly procedures, inspection criteria, etc.) to perform this task itself, nor adequate technical information to provide potential bidders in open competition. This documentation is owned by Froude, Inc., the OEM. Without this technical documentation, it would not be possible to replicate a functional system. Therefore, only Froude, Inc., or an authorized distributor, is capable of providing the dynamometer and critical spares. Any other contractor would not be capable of performing this requirement to the OEM specifications. The Government intends to procure this item 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. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the response to this notice is solely at the Government’s discretion. Responses must be received by the response date specified in this notice.
