CLASS JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

IN REPLY REFER TO:

CJ&A 22-0322

1. Contracting Activity.

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Headquarters

2. Description of the Action Being Approved.

This Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) authorizes and approves the issuance of orders on a sole source basis to Honeywell International, Incorporated (Honeywell) under a V-22 Program Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). Authority to act under this class justification expires on 31 May 2027.

3. Description of Supplies/Services.

The supplies/services to be acquired will support Honeywell V-22 component non-recurring engineering, reliability/sustainability improvements, test, repair, modification, logistics support, training, obsolescence management, spare and repair parts, support equipment, and procurement to include infrared suppressors, generators, control units, shaft-driven compressors, fan motors, environmental control systems, weather radar, traffic collision avoidance systems, inertial navigation systems, antennas, radar altimeters, cockpit displays and panels, remote frequency indicators, and specialized avionics. The supplies/services to be acquired include Honeywell V- 22 components (and/or associated software and firmware):

a. Development, design/redesign, manufacture, modification, integration, repair, and testing;

b. Non-recurring engineering and logistics efforts in support of repair and modification, development of technical data, training of Fleet Readiness Center artisans, completion of engineering change proposals, and delivery of support equipment and components for validation and verification;

c. Procurement to be provided as Government Furnished Equipment to the V-22 production line, V-22 mod/retrofit lines or trainers, including spare or repair parts;

CJ&A 22-0322

d. Obsolescence management efforts including, but not limited to, obsolescence trade studies, obsolescence component testing, and bridge buys or life-of-need buys;

e. In-service support, including Fleet support; and

f. Engineering/technical/integration support, engineering investigations, service life assessment support, service life extension support, and studies.

The estimated total value of orders placed against the V-22 Honeywell BOA under this CJ&A is $45.2M from FY23-FY27, and is anticipated to be funded by the fiscal years and appropriations as set forth in the table below.

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

Honeywell is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the infrared suppressor, generators, shaft-driven compressor, fan motors, environmental control system, weather radar, traffic collision avoidance system, inertial navigation system, radar altimeters, remote frequency indicators, and associated antennas, cockpit displays, and panels on the V-22 aircraft. During development of the V-22 aircraft, Honeywell was selected to provide the aforementioned components in support of weapon system production. Honeywell possesses the unique engineering data, technical skills, established tooling, support equipment, facilities, and requisite V-22 aircraft design, fabrication and production knowledge required to perform the efforts contemplated under this follow-on Honeywell BOA. Any follow-on kits, spares, repair parts, non-platform-related modifications/upgrades to the components, obsolescence management/Life-of-Type buys, and associated component-specific logistics support, trainer support, and support equipment are available only from Honeywell. Also, Honeywell is currently the only source with the requisite V-22 aircraft design, structural loads, safety factors, aerodynamic and structural appraisal of fatigue effect databases, unique operational performance, maintenance and support characteristics knowledge to perform the non-recurring engineering required for Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) production cut-in under production contracts, as well as to meet the Government’s retrofit requirements. The Government has invested approximately $381.41M overall into the V-22 Honeywell components to include Infrared Suppressor (IRS) development and production, Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) processor development, Shaft Driven Compressor (SDC) development and implementation, Enhanced Standby Flight Instrument (ESFI) Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) upgrades, Variable Frequency Generator (VFG) production, system hardware designs and drawings, acquisition of multiple system hardware components, and related non-recurring engineering. In addition, the Government has incurred the cost of integration and flight qualification of these Honeywell components on the V-22 aircraft via various contracts as a supplier. The aforementioned costs would be duplicative to the Government if required to design, develop, integrate, test, and procure alternate components.

These costs are not expected to be recovered through competition. Based on the foregoing, Honeywell is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the Government’s requirement without substantial duplication of costs.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable.

Market research was conducted through a sources sought notice posted to the System for Award Management (SAM) website on 17 January 2023 seeking sources from industry for procurement and support of Honeywell components for the V-22 aircraft. There were two responses received and evaluated by the PMA-275 technical team: Honeywell International, Inc., who is capable of completing the required tasking in its entirety, and

, who was deemed not capable because they did not clearly demonstrate their ability to obtain access to technical and engineering data/resources needed to fulfill the requirement. As such, it has been determined that the aforementioned sources sought fulfills the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 206.302-1 Request for Information/Sources Sought requirement for support of tasking contemplated under the Honeywell BOA for the V-22 aircraft. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.201, orders will be individually synopsized on the SAM website. The Contracting Officer will evaluate any responses received prior to award of each order. Additionally, parties interested in subcontracting opportunities will be referred to Honeywell to maximize competition in subcontracted efforts.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this CJ&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

For the reasons set forth in paragraph 5, NAVAIR has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/support covered under this CJ&A. If the Government obtains additional data rights in the future, NAVAIR will assess potential competition opportunities that can be broken out from the overall requirement.

As this is a follow-on for supplies and services previously awarded on a non-competitive basis, in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(i), the prior CJ&A was provided to the approval authority for review. Approval of this CJ&A signifies the approval authority has made the determination required by DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(ii).
