CJA 17-0092 BB BOA approved 09112017_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) for use of other than full and open competition, issued by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for the V-22 Bell-Boeing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-17-G-0002. The document authorizes the issuance of orders for ongoing production and retrofit integration efforts for the V-22 Tilt-Rotor Aircraft, covering fiscal years FY22-FY26. The orders will support engineering change proposals (ECPs) for reliability/sustainability improvements, including development, manufacture, and installation of block upgrades, software development, testing, obsolescence management, and support for in-service aircraft.

Bell-Boeing is justified as the sole source due to their unique position as the sole designer, developer, and integrator of the V-22 aircraft since 1983, with extensive technical knowledge and established infrastructure. The document argues that awarding to any other source would result in significant delays (18-24 months) and require substantial time for design efforts, qualification, and testing. The ordering period commences upon approval and expires for initial orders on 11 January 2022, with a total estimated value of orders to be funded through fiscal year appropriations as detailed in a redacted table in the document.
