The procurement will be procured under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (C)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The Government is currently not aware of any commercially available alternatives that can meet the cost savings, schedule constraints, and functionality needed, to be a viable alternative to the AMS. Therefore, NAVAIR has determined that award of ECP 6507C1 to any source other than TBC would result in unacceptable delays to fielding this requirement.
This synopsis is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. Responsible sources may submit a capability statement with sufficient detail that clearly demonstrates the capability to produce the required products no later than 3:00 PM (EST) August 11, 2018 to [email protected].
