Pre-solicitation Notice: N6134026Q1012 – NADTC Custom Configuration Spares

NAICS: 334111 Electronic Computer Manufacturing PSC: 6910 Training Aids

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems

Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando, in support of the Navy Aviation Distributed Training Center (NADTC)

Program, intends to award, on a sole source basis, a contract to Aero Simulation, Inc. to extend the lifecycle of the system and maintain the program’s distributed mission training Operational Availability.

The subject effort includes but is not limited to the procurement and custom modification of brand-name servers, computers, and computer peripherals. These components must be custom-modified and certified to integrate seamlessly into the proprietary NADTC-LANT system-of-systems architecture. Aero

Simulation Inc., possesses the unique, proprietary technical data required to execute these modifications to ensure hardware interoperability within the existing classified enclave.

The contract is planned for Aero Simulation Inc., (location) under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 13.101(b), “Contracting officers may solicit from a single source based on a determination and findings that only one source is reasonably available.” Aero Simulation, Inc. is the only source that possesses the unique and proprietary knowledge of this requirement, and can provide the required customized configuration of hardware and Form, Fit, Function (FFF) replacement parts required for this effort. No other vendor can deliver this requirement without causing substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays in fulfilling our mission. Based on market research, the determination was made not to compete this procurement since no viable alternative exists. Additionally, the market research supports that there does not exist a commercially available product or non-developmental product to satisfy the Government’s requirement.

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. It is a notice outlining the Government’s intent to contract on a sole source basis with Aero Simulation, Inc. Interested sources are solicited to provide their written technical capabilities. Written response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Interested sources must submit detailed written technical capabilities to produce a solution to meet the needs of the Government.

Detailed written capabilities must be submitted by email to the Contract Specialist, Emily Lawrence

(emily.g.lawrence3.civ@us.navy.mil), in an electronic format that is compatible with MS Word by Close of Business (5:00PM EST) 4 June 2026. Verbal submissions via phone will not be honored.

All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than TEN (10) pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no written challenge to this synopsis is received (or if a response is received, but determined it cannot meet the Government’s need), the Government will continue to pursue a sole source procurement to Aero Simulation, Inc. under FAR RFO 13.101(b) based on the rationale provided above. If conducted as a sole source procurement, a separate synopsis will not follow. This synopsis will satisfy the intent of the requirements under FAR RFO 5.101.

Matters pertaining to this notification may be directed to Mrs. Emily Lawrence at 904-969-2154 or via email at emily.g.lawrence3.civ@us.navy.mil or Mrs. Chelsea Myhree at 904-969-2305 or via email at chelsea.r.myhree.civ@us.navy.mil.
