INTRODUCTION

This Sources Sought notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 206.302-1(d).  The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract to the Boeing Company (TBC) to update F/A-18A-F and EA-18G Technical Publications, Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs), and drawings and to provide Logistics Support Analysis (LSA)/Provisioning labor support. The contract action will be awarded to TBC, 6200 JS McDonnell Blvd., Saint Louis, MO 63134.  This acquisition is being pursued on sole source basis under the statutory authority of Title 10, U.S.C. Section 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only one responsible sole source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements”.  Only TBC, as the sole designer, developer, weapons system integrator, and producer of the F/A-18 and EA-18G aircraft, and its subsystems, can produce the drawing updates, LSA/LPD updates, and technical manual updates, as it is likely that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.
