The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a delivery order under the NAWCTSD Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N61340-19-G0002, for the acquisition of P-8 Poseidon Training Systems Release Concurrency Upgrade (TSR CU) Phase 1 with The Boeing Company, Saint Louis, MO, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.”  The expected period of performance of the delivery order is approximately 48 months from contract award.

NAWCTSD has a requirement for the TSR CU Phase 1 for the P-8A Poseidon. As the current sole designer, developer, integrator, manufacturer and supplier of P-8A Systems hardware components, only Boeing possesses the requisite knowledge, engineering expertise, and data rights required to deliver the P-8A Poseidon spare parts. The training system requires concurrent incorporation of advanced and emerging technologies specific in design or application to the P-8A aircraft. Boeing is the only contractor that can supply P-8A TSR CU Phase 1 because only Boeing has access to the requisite aircraft design data and aircraft.
