Prior market research revealed repair of this item has not been awarded on a commercial contract. This acquisition is a sole-source effort with the incumbent repair vendor for this item. This market condition has existed since this item was initially fielded.

Previous Contract: The Boeing Company Contract Number: FA811715D0030 Date of Award: 30 Sep 15 Completion Date: 29 Mar 21 Basis of Award: Sole-source

There is reasonable expectation that only Boeing will compete independently once a solicitation is posted to the Government Point of Entry.

A SSS was posted under "FA8117-19-SS-0017" on 10 Jul 19 and closed on 9 Aug 19 emphasizing the Government’s interest in all businesses to include Large Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Businesses 8(a)s, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, Hubzone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses.

The SSS, which included the NSN, part number, and repair quantity, requested information pursuant to FAR 10 in support of market research to identify potential sources for repair of the subject. Blackhawk Management Corporation responded as an interested party. Further review of the company revealed no repair capability, only contract management services.

The Government has no technical data. The acquisition must be made from the OEM, and is not eligible for a small business set-aside. Small businesses interested in this type of work should contact the OEM directly for potential sub-contracting opportunities. OEMs are encouraged to utilize small business opportunities for their sub-contract work.

TextField1: The Government contracting officer will lead negotiations for any resulting contract and will address: warranty options; maintenance support; financing and discounts; marking and packaging; inspection and acceptance processes; making a fair and reasonable assessment and determination; insured/bonded/licensed requirements; and payment plans. Standard Government business practices are applicable for this requirement. Standard Government terms and conditions are applicable for this requirement. Inspection and acceptance of individual tasks work efforts will be accomplished by Government personnel.

The standard commercial warranty is considered reasonable for this effort, and no financing or maintenance support is standard in the commercial marketplace.
