Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation (AVMI)

This presolicitation notice provides notice of the Government's intent to solicit, negotiate and award on a sole source basis a contract for the continuation of Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation (AVMI) Support Services while the contract award is under litigation. The contract will be issued on a sole source basis to PAE Applied Technologies, LLC, (PAE) 6500 West Freeway, Ste 600, Fort Worth, TX 76116-2118 for the continuance of uninterrupted technical and engineering services to support the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Air Vehicle Modification and Instrumentation (AVMI) Department until the period of performance begins on the follow on contract, once litigation has been concluded. This contract will cover up to an additional six months of support. Due to the ongoing nature of the projects currently being performed under the contract, and the need to continue these services, PAE is the only practical source for providing the necessary continuation of services until award of the competitive follow-on contract is finalized. PAE is the sole source capable of providing these efforts without creating an impact on the fielded systems, project schedules, operations and operational readiness that would be caused by a break in services. It is unrealistic, from a technical and contractual perspective, to expect any other potential source to provide continued services for this short period of performance prior to the start of the follow-on contract. As a result, this short term bridge contract will be procured on a sole source basis. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Any questions pertaining to this announcement shall be submitted to John Bohner, Code 2.5.1.11.4 via email john.bohner@navy.mil.
