The Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division, Lakehurst (NAWCAD LKE) intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a firm-fixed price Contract on a Limited-Competitive basis between Howmet Global Fastening Systems, CAGE 5R793, and their approved vendors for the procurement of various Howmet Global Fastening Systems tools for H53K Tool Control. The full list of items being procured is included as an attachment below. Howmet Global Fastening Systems and their authorized distributors are the only vendors that can provide the tools to meet the Governments requirement. The required tool boxes have been previously designed and purchased by the H53K program at the squadron level. This effort is a continuation of the tool boxes already in place at the squadron level. The tool boxes are designed for specific maintenance tasks in which training is conducted utilizing these exact tools and the manuals for the repairs have been written to include these tools. In order to ensure that all servicemen are trained on servicing the H53K aircraft/equipment and can perform their designated tasks quickly, efficiently and no matter their location, H53K tools are the same from one squadron to the next. Logistical problems would occur should another manufacturer's tools be used.
