This acquisition will be solicited to Marvin Engineering (32067) and Raytheon (072E5). Per JDRS/ASE, this item has been deemed a Critical Safety Item (CSI), thus limiting qualified sources. All alternate sources must qualify IAW the DCAs procedures, as approved by NAVAIR prior to contract award. The acquisition of the item listed above will be solicited to Marvin Engineering (32067) and Raytheon (072E5) because they are currently the only sources capable of satisfying this requirement. While Boeing (76301) is listed as an approved source in JDRS, they do not have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities to be able to manufacture this part, only Marvin Engineering (32067) and Raytheon (072E5) does. The Navy does not currently have in its possession any data, supporting test equipment, and associated specifications required to procure of the items. Since the Navy does not own sufficient information such as any drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures, a full and open competitive solicitation cannot be supported. NAVSUP-WSS must procure the item from the Marvin Engineering (32067) and Raytheon (072E5).
