2. Restricted to the following source. Provide Honeywell International Inc. name. (If a sole source manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)

Manufacturer: __Honeywell International Inc.__

Manufacturer POC & phone number. Ted Varner, (678) 640-1648_____

Mfr. address 1501 NE 36th Street, Redmond, WA 98052-5317 ____

Dealer / Rep address / phone number. 1501 NE 36th Street, Redmond, WA 98052-5317

(678) 640-1648.

3. Description of the item or service required, the estimated cost, and required delivery date.

The requested service is for Satellite Datalink Services which consists of the following:

Communication Services and updates for the following Commander, Navy Air Force Reserve Executive Transport Aircraft: One (1) C-20G BUNO 165151, one (1) C-37A BUNO 166375 and three (3) C-37B Aircraft BUNOs 166376, 166377 and 166378. The Satellite Datalink Service includes the following: Premium worldwide VHF Datalink communications, Flight Plans, FAXs, Texting, Graphical Weather and Air Traffic Services, EPIC Weather Graphics, Worldwide Satellite Datalink Communications and connection to the ground to enable safety services. The estimated cost is $54,570,25 for the base year of the contract. The required delivery date is 1 August 2019.

4. Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source

(unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

The hardware for the Satellite Datalink service is currently wired in to the following Commander, Navy Air Force Reserve Executive Transport Aircraft: One (1) C-20G BUNO 165151, one (1) C-37A BUNO 166375 and three (3) C-37B Aircraft BUNOs 166376, 166377 and 166378. Honeywell International provides navigational data such as satellite position reports, weather reports, VHF Datalink Communications, flight plans and flight plan storage under the Global Data Center Program. To change to another Satellite Datalink Service provider, both mechanical and electrical reconfiguration of all five (5) aircraft would be necessary to for any of the other service providers to deliver this service to these aircraft. Gulfstream, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for these aircraft is under an IDIQ contract that specifies delivery and installation of these particular Honeywell flight management systems in these Gulfstream aircraft. As such, Honeywell International is the only company that

FAR 13.106-1(b) 2 of 3 can provide the Satellite Datalink Services for these aircraft. Changing Satellite Datalink hardware configuration is possible, but engineering changes would have to be approved by NAVAIR Engineering, Air Force Contracting and approved by the Commander, Fleet Logistics Support Wing (CFLSW) before any changes could be made. An engineering change of this nature to these systems could potentially cost millions of dollars and would take at least a year to get approved.

5. The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

The requested service is for Satellite Datalink Services which consists of the following:

Communication Services and updates for the following Commander, Navy Air Force Reserve Executive Transport Aircraft: One (1) C-20G BUNO 165151, one (1) C-37A BUNO 166375 and three (3) C-37B Aircraft BUNOs 166376, 166377 and 166378. The Satellite Datalink Service includes the following: Premium worldwide VHF Datalink communications, Flight Plans, FAXs, Texting, Graphical Weather and Air Traffic Services, EPIC Weather Graphics, Worldwide Satellite Datalink Communications and connection to the ground to enable safety services and represents the minimum requirements of the government.

6. The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. The requested service is for Satellite Datalink Services which consists of the following: Communication Services and updates for the following Commander, Navy Air Force Reserve Executive Transport Aircraft: One (1) C-20G BUNO 165151, one (1) C-37A BUNO 166375 and three (3) C-37B Aircraft BUNOs 166376, 166377 and 166378. The Satellite Datalink Service includes the following: Premium worldwide VHF Datalink communications, Flight Plans, FAXs, Texting, Graphical Weather and Air Traffic Services, EPIC Weather Graphics, Worldwide Satellite Datalink Communications and connection to the ground to enable safety services. These services must be exactly the same in all aspects of form, fit and function as the existing Satellite Datalink Services currently being provided.

7. A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is for the

Honeywell Flight Management Systems on the following Gulfstream Aircraft: One (1) C-20G BUNO 165151, one (1) C-37A BUNO 166375 and three (3) C-37B Aircraft BUNOs 166376, 166377 and 166378.

8. These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment. N/A there are not direct replacement parts.

9. Other information to support a sole source buy: Attempting to schedule multiple depot level inductions at the OEM for an extended period for multiple aircraft modifications across the Navy Air Force Reserve Executive Transport Fleet is not realistic considering the mission impact on the customers who consist of the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the navy, Chief of Naval Operations, Commandant of the Marine Corps and Congressional Staff.
