The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD intends to award a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) delivery order to The Raytheon Company, Space and Airborne Systems (SAS), 2000 East El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo, California. This award will be on a sole source basis. The order will provide for two (2) Aircrew Training events, and two (2) Maintenance Training events. The scope of this effort will allow for additional squadron trainings to be completed in support of Initial Operational Capability (IOC), and as may be authorized and appropriated by Congress. This proposed delivery order is being placed under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-20-G-0007.

As the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of the NGJ-MB system, Raytheon is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data required to successfully support and provide materials for the aforementioned training events without causing unacceptable delays in meeting the Navy’s operational requirements. In addition, an award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S. Code 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, ‘Only One Responsible Source’, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

This is not a commercial buy; therefore, the Government does not intend to use the provisions of FAR Part 12 for this acquisition. This synopsis is published for informational purposes only. (THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS). Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to the requirement. The Government will consider all capability information received prior to the closing date of this synopsis. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. There is no commitment by the Government to issue any solicitation, make an award, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party before award of a contract for the efforts detailed above. Information provided herein in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.
