6. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Pttrsuant to FAR 5.201 , a synopsis of the proposed' acquisition was published on the Federal IJusi¡ress O¡rportunities (l-edBizOpps) website on F'ebruary 4,2011. The acquisition was also trrublishcd in .¿\MCOM's Competition Advooate's Shopping List (CASL) on Fehruary 4.2011, ancl subseqr;ently revised March 19.2012'. to date, no responses have been received. Although anv respcrnsiblc source may snhnrit a proposal or capability staternent, it is not anticipatecl that corlpctition r¡¡ill be obtained. Tlrerelore, as a result of thi.s action, no cornpetition and no other aclíotrs lo obt¿rin conlpetitiorr are anticipated due to thc unique quali{ications of the selected contractor described ilr palagraph 5 above,

7. Actions to Incroa$c Comnçtition; The supported PMOs are conducting on-going market research of domestic suppliers, foreign suppliers, and cost-eff'ective opportunities for joint developments with other U.S. and/or coalition military services, There are no other domestic or foreign sources that have systems that provide the capabilities of these Boeing systems without initiating a major defense acquisition program. The supporled PMOs have on-going efforts to indentif'y components suitable for breakout and compctitive acquisition in accordance with the Def'ense FAR Supplement (DFARS) Appendix D. Even with these efforts, the Govemment will require continued access to Boeing expertise as the cleveloper and integlator for thesc unique systcms as long as the IJ,S. Army and DoD organizations continue to use the baseline systelns.

8. Market I{esearch:

Market research, as defined in FAR 2,101 and described in IrAR Part 10, was conducted by!

II AATD Project Engineer from March 2011 thru March 2012, in an attemptõ-ascertain the most suitable approach to acquire the effort described herein and to determine whether commercial items, non-developmental items or modified non-developmental items are available to meet the requirement, In addition, market research is conducted on an ongoing basis by AATD engineers who rcmain vigilant regarcling emerging technologies and who are very familiar with on-going initiatives to modernize the Army rotorcraft fleet. The market research consisted of attendance at technical conferences revlews (e,g. W'eek and Space Technology, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Journal, Jane's Defense Publications, and Rotor and Wing), and conversations with Government personnel from;

overnment recent past that are pertinent contract, On 5-6 March 2012, is the only company holding the design, development, and softwa¡e knowleclge necessary to successfully perform the technology integration and test support efforts required by the Government. The Boeing Company has access to proprietary inlormation about'aircraft that other companies do not have. This research did not identify any other qualified sources that would be capable, conrpetent, or economical or that would have the expertise, experience, data, and equipment necessary to satisfy the Government's lequirements, The Boeing Company will serve as the overall focal point for the contract effort and ensure that AATD's requirements are met for the variousll f The research also confumed that the required support is non-commerciãIf,herilre¡AR Part 72 procedures will not be utilized for this acquisition. The acquisition was published in the CASL on 4 February 2011, and revised on l9 March2012.

9. Interested Sources:

A synopsis of this non-competitive acquisition was published in the FedBizOpps on February 4, 201 I in accordance with FAR 5.201 as stated in paragraph 6 above, To date, no other sources have expressed an interest in writing, however, any source who expresses an interest will receive

a. ProculementHistory:

1. W911W6-07-D-0002 (EATTS2). On 14 March 2007, AATD awarded EATTS2 contract for $75,000,000 to McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company, dba The Boeing Company, on a non-competitive basis, citing 10 U.S.C. 230a(c)(l) as a follow-on to the EATTS I contract descdtrecl below. EATTS2 expanded coverage of the supported to the entire tsoeing line for ths US This includes, but is not limited to, to support into these unique Boeing technologies. Since award, Boeing has continued to expand the technologies used by the US Army and DoD organizations,

2. DAAHl0-03-D-0001 (EATTSI). On 12 August 2003, AATD awarded the first EATTS contract for $10,000,000,00 to McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company (dba The Bocing Company) as an IDIQ type contract in response to the rising number of technology eff'orts, primarily associated with the increased level of OCOs, This contract obtained support fotll I only and was awarded on a non-competitive basis, citing 10 U,S.C.

2304(c)(l) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

vanous Offices

3. Prior to EATTSl, AATD prcviously acquired Boeing support for its product lines in yqys, including a letter contract and sending funding to various Progtam N4anagement

III, for execution under existing contract vehicles.

4. A review of recent history shows that many projects have had contingency operations implications; these conditions are also anticipated for orders that will be issued under the instant acquisition, There is no known frequent or fragmentary buys under any related/previously awarded contracts. The previously referred to efforts were considered when establishing the contract maximum amount ancl defining the scope of work for the instant acquisition. The tasks are not considered "fragmentary buys", but rather a sequence of unrelated initiatives to address a specific matter for the Boeing technologies and systems used by the U.S.

Army and DoD organizations.
