Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Air Combat Electronics Program (PMA 209), Patuxent River, MD intends to negotiate and award a sole-source, firm-fixed priced Delivery Order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00421-21-G-0005 to Rockwell Collins, Inc (RCI), 400 Collins Rd NE, Cedar Rapids, Ia. 52498 for 4 AN/ARN 153 TACAN RT-1625/ ARN-153 V4 R/T (Part Number 622-8149-001) and 4 associated Mounts (Part Number 622-8150-001) in support of PMA261, CH-53 FMS Programs.

This acquisition is being pursued on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1, “only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”  RCI is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN) and associated support equipment. The Government does not possess adequate data or the rights necessary to competitively award this requirement. As the sole designer, developer and OEM, RCI is therefore the only company that has the ability, resources, technology and documentation necessary to modify, develop, produce, maintain and support these systems.

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement. The Government will consider all 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 procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No phone inquiries will be entertained. All inquiries and concerns shall be addressed via email to Bill Hines at William.d.hines30.civ@us.navy.mil no later than 18 May 2022, 2:00pm eastern time. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government.

Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact RCI directly.
