Procurement Instrument Identification Number: FA8730-20-R-0018 Agency: Department of the Air Force Office: Air Force Life Cycle Materiel Command Location: Hanscom AFB HBMK Classification Code: D311 – Data Conversion NAICS: 541511 – Custom Computer Programming Services

Synopsis:

This synopsis constitutes a Notice of Proposed Contract Action (NOCA) by the Air Force Life Cycle Materiel Command, Aerospace Management Division, Mission Planning Contracting, AFLCMC/HBMK, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731, of the intent to solicit a proposal from and negotiate a contract with The Boeing Company for the B61-12 TailKit (TKA) Fly-Out Model (FOM) source code to 64-bit Windows 10 and Red Hat Linux.

This synopsis is for a proposed contract IAW FAR 5.201(b)(i), for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, IAW 10 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.” The Boeing Company is the only firm capable of meeting the Government’s requirement for providing the B61-12 TKA FOM. This is due to the fact that The Boeing Company is the only firm with the appropriate data rights needed to complete the conversion. To compete this effort would cause the Government to incur a substantial duplication of costs because another contractor would have to purchase the rights or develop another solution.

This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. No Request for Proposal will be issued based upon this Notice of Intent. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to this NOCA nor will the Government compensate a respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to AFLCMC/HBMK. This notice is not a commitment from the Government.

An AFLCMC Ombudsman has been appointed to consider and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. Before consulting the Ombudsman concerned parties should first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendation to the Contracting Officer for resolution. In addition, AFFARS 5352.201-9101, Ombudsman, will be included in this acquisition's solicitation and contract. The AFLCMC Ombudsman may be contacted at:
