NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (NASA/AFRC) has a requirement for the following items for NASA owned F-15 Research Aircraft: 4 ea. Brake, Multiple Disk (P/N: 2-1762; Stock #: 1630-01-647-7666) 6 ea. Wheel Assembly (P/N: 3-1694; Stock #: 1630-01-647-7664) NASA/AFRC intends to issue a sole source contract to Collins Aerospace, 101 Waco St, Troy, OH 45373, to acquire the items. Authority for this action is Federal Acquisition Regulation 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(1)-Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The required F-15 wheels and brakes are manufactured by Collins Aerospace. The current version of wheels and brakes on the aircraft are no longer being manufactured. The upgraded F-15 wheels and brakes components are needed for compliance with Time Compliant Technical Order (TCTO) 1F-15-1668E which improves braking performance and installs parts less susceptible to fatigue failure. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Robbin Kessler at robbin.m.kessler@nasa.gov and Eleonor Barron at eleonor.barron@nasa.gov no later than 12:00pm PDT on September 10, 2021. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html
