The Naval Air Systems Command intends to place a firm fixed price order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement, N00019-05-G-0026, with McDonnell Douglas Corporation (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Boeing Company) of St. Louis, Missouri 63166, for the procurement of out of warranty retrofit kits under Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) 6366, " Pre-CRI Outer Wing Inboard Aileron Hinge Redesign," for the F/A 18 series of aircraft on a sole source basis. A crack was discovered on the inboard aileron hinge of a fleet aircraft. It was determined that the crack was due to fatigue, and that the inboard aileron hinge did not meet the life limit as outlined in the detail specification. As such, this ECP replaces the life-limited part with a full-life part. This requirement includes the procurement of 87 retrofit kits in FY 2010. McDonnell Douglas is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer and integrator of the F/A 18 aircraft in its various configurations and is the only source with the knowledge, expertise and on-site personnel base necessary to accomplish this effort. Any interested party must have the approved facility and personnel clearances necessary and also demonstrate its ability to obtain any required clearances in time to meet the schedule requirements. Any respondent must also submit a Statement of Qualifications to demonstrate their ability to perform to the Government's needs within the required response time.
