PIF V22 B2C MCOI Project

Synopsis and Intent to Sole Source PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The U.S. Army Futures Command, Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation

and Missile Center (AvMC), Prototype Integration Facility (PIF), at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama,

issues this synopsis in accordance with FAR Part 5.203. The Government intends to issue an award

on a sole source basis for a firm-fixed price (FFP) delivery order to Honeywell, Inc. to supply

Environmental Control Units, Flow Control Valves, and Environmental Control System (ECS)

Controllers to be fielded as part of the V-22 B2C MCOI Upgrade in Huntsville, Alabama.

The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit

and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a).

The Contracting Officer determined that Honeywell is the only sources that can reasonably meet the

Government’s requirement in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. Section 3204(a)(1), as implemented by

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2)(i), “Only one responsible source and no other

supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”

The only known capable source with the proprietary data necessary to procure these items of supply

is the Original Equipment Manufacturer, Honeywell, Inc. The Government does not have access to or

rights in this proprietary data sufficient to compete this requirement.

The Government intends to award a purchase order to Honeywell. This synopsis is not a competitive

request for proposals; however, the Army will consider capable parties who submit capability

statements that clearly show that it currently possesses or has authorized access to the necessary

proprietary data, or has a viable plan to obtain, generate, or otherwise secure authorized access to

the necessary proprietary data from Honeywell. The Government will consider any capability

statements received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis.
