Combined Synopsis/Solicitation

(IAW FAR 12.603)

Solicitation Number: F3YTAS8036A001 Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract for an annual membership in the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA), Incorporated.

Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Sustainment Center, Tinker AFB OK, intends to award a Sole Source Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), soliciting from a single source to satisfy agency requirements. The contract will be awarded to RTCA, Inc. IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Market research was previously conducted and it has been determined that RTCA, Inc. is the only source reasonably available that can meet the Government's requirements for annual organizational membership.

This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. Interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide the required supplies/services within fifteen (15) days of this publication. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Authority: (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), Justification: Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). Membership required is available from only one responsible source and no other type of organization will satisfy agency requirements.
