About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document prepared by NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) for a sole-source contract award.
The contracting activity seeks to award a sole-source contract to The Boeing Company for MyBoeing Fleet Subscription Services supporting the NASA 737 Aircraft (serial number 40116). The required services include Boeing-proprietary digital maintenance and operational support delivered through the MyBoeing Fleet platform, encompassing access to maintenance manuals, task cards, service bulletins, wiring and nondestructive testing standards, aircraft-specific planning documents, and hosted digital tools such as the Maintenance Performance Toolbox and Takeoff & Landing Databases. The services also include limited engineering support for technical service requests and software access for performance analysis, all essential for compliant aircraft maintenance, airworthiness certification, and operational readiness. The total period of performance is 5 years with a total contract price that has been redacted. The statutory authority for restricting competition is 41 U.S.C. 1901. The justification establishes that Boeing is the only responsible source capable of providing these services because it is the original manufacturer and sole owner of all proprietary technical data, software, and maintenance documentation for the 737NG aircraft. Boeing holds exclusive distribution and licensing rights, and no other entity possesses the legal rights, technical access, or OEM authority to provide equivalent information and support. Market research was conducted confirming Boeing as the only practicable source. No synopsis was published on SAM.gov under FAR Part 5 exemption 5.101(b)(2), and the Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based on proposal analysis and FAR 15.404-1 price analysis techniques.

8. FAR 6.104-Ha)(S)-Description of the market research conducted, and the results, or a statement of the reasons market research was not conducted (e.g., urgent, and compelling requirement):
Market research was conducted by the Contracting Officer in collaboration with the
Technical Representative. Based on the market research and the Technical Representative's extensive expertise with the Boeing 73 7 platform, Boeing was determined to be the only responsible source capable of providing the required My Boeing Fleet subscription.
The MyBoeing Fleet subscription contains proprietary technical data and information that is developed, owned, and exclusively distributed by Boeing. Because this information is proprietary and subject to Boeing's licensing and distribution controls, no other vendor is authorized to provide an equivalent subscription.
Accordingly, Boeing is the only practicable source for this requirement due to its proprietary technology, unique technical expertise, and the necessity to maintain compatibility with
Boeing aircraft systems and documentation.
9. FAR 6.104-Ha)(9)-Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition:
None
10. FAR 6.104-Ha)(lO)-A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed an interest in writing in the acquisition:
A notice ofNASA's intent to award this sole-source action was not synopsized on the GPE website (Sam.gov) per FAR part 5 (See Section 6 above).
11. FAR 6.104-Ha)(ll)-A statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required:
The Agency will continue to examine the market in the future for alternative solutions or new sources before executing any subsequent acquisitions for the same requirements.
