KC-130 and E-2 NP2000 Assorted PSE
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst intends to make a sole-source award to Collins Aerospace for the acquisition of specific Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE) for the KC-130J and E-2 programs. The justification is that Collins Aerospace is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and the only source with the proprietary technical data and expertise to provide these items, which include designated Critical Safety Items. The performance location is not specified. An alternate offeror would need to submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request package for technical evaluation within 15 days of the synopsis publication, but the audit process for approval would typically take 12 months, which is considered an unacceptable delay. The government is not requesting competitive proposals but will consider any responses received.
