Description

NAVAIR intends to negotiate and award a sole-source delivery order under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with Bell Textron Inc. (Bell), Fort Worth, TX to produce and deliver H-1 Force Trim Relay Redesign Kits for ECP H1-UPG-0101 of the overall Force Trim Relay Redesign effort. This effort includes the manufacturing and delivery of 421 Force Trim Modification Kits (WIA- 5 PN: 450-704-030-101 and WIA-12 PN: 449-704-037-101) for production and forced retrofit implementation of the Force Trim Relay system onto the AH-1Z and UH-1Y aircraft.

This requirement will be procured in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, in that Bell is the only responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy United States Navy requirements. Bell is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and system integrator of the aircraft and the only known source that possesses the data, technical skills, and requisite knowledge of the design, fabrication, performance, operation, maintenance, training resources, and support characteristics of the H-1 platform to fulfill this need in a timely manner. This notice is for information purposes only. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
