Notice ID:N6833526Q1223

This is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price procurement for one Parachute Packing Press Model GSU-449/E (PN COM00150-1; NSN 1670-99-555-6604) for the F/A-18 Kuwait Classic program. The Government intends to award to Allied Defense Industries, CAGE 0GD25, because it is the only known authorized distributor for Martin Baker and owns the proprietary engineering data and drawings. Market research identified no other vendors, and procuring an alternate part would require government-funded PDR, CDR, FAT, and T&E efforts plus source-selection personnel. Any form, fit, or function change would also require ILS updates estimated at $100,000 to $150,000 and would leave the FMS partner with an unsupported, non-interchangeable asset. The requirement is therefore processed under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.

Parachute Packing Press

Notice ID:N6833526Q1223

The Government intends a sole-source procurement/repair of a Parachute Packing Press Model GSU-449/E (PN COM00150-1; NSN 1670-99-555-6604) for the F/A-18 Kuwait Classic program. The only source with the required unique capability is OEM Allied Defense Industries (Cage 0GD25), and the Government lacks sufficient data rights to compete due to proprietary Eaton items in the end item. Any alternate part number would require PDR, CDR, FAT, T&E, and source-selection resources, and a form/fit/function change would add an estimated $200,000 to $250,000 for ILS updates. Market research was performed by the Lakehurst Technical team, and the acquisition method code is 3H (acquire directly from the manufacturer).
