Synopsis:
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a new Delivery Order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Number N00019-11-G-0018 to Rockwell Collins Government Systems (RCGS), Inc. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the C-2A Control Display Unit (CDU-7000) and Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) software upgrade that will incorporate the Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) (Out) capability. This software capability will provide required data to the AN/APX-123 transponder, as well as provide the required controls and displays to the C-2A pilot and co-pilot. The Federal Aviation Administration mandates direct a nationwide transition to ADS-B technology by 2020 as a part of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) architecture.
The new Delivery Order will be awarded on a sole source basis to Rockwell Collins Government Systems under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." As the designer, developer, and OEM for the C-2A CNS/ATM aircraft cockpit, RCGS is the only company that has the ability, resources, technology, and documentation necessary to modify, develop, produce, maintain, and support these systems. Interested parties for subcontracting opportunities may contact Rockwell Collins Inc., 400 Collins Road NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52498 or Rockwell Collins' Small Business Liaison Officer, Kris Gralund at (319) 263-3344.
