Notice text

The AFLCMC/WWK hereby issues Solicitation Number FA8110-20-R-0001 to provide for the services necessary to perform operational maintenance, testing preparation and execution for the B-2 Program Depot Maintenance (PDM) Hardness Maintenance / Hardness Surveillance (HM/HS) Test.  This acquisition requires Portable Hardness Surveillance equipment maintenance/repair/shipping and test execution support of Low Level Continuous Wave testing on B-2 Air Force Aircraft.  The Government anticipates a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost Reimbursement (CR) definitive contract.   The contract shall include a base period of performance of twelve months and two one year options in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.217-9.  The proposed contract action provides for services for which the Government intends to negotiate with only one source, Fiore Industries Inc., CAGE code: 0MBR1, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.  Highly specialized technical expertise and exclusive ODS-2200 Suite Intellectual Property rights possessed by Fiore Industries Inc. is necessary to perform the instant requirement.  AFLCMC/WWZ believes that award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Air Force's requirements.  It would take another source at least 24 months to recruit and train the necessary Electromagnetic Effects (EME), Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), and Electromagnetic Conductivity (EMC) personnel to fulfill this highly specialized requirement.  Also, Fiore currently owns the exclusive intellectual property rights for repair, maintenance, and manufacturing of current, existing, and new fiber optic equipment (ODS-2200 suite e.g. fiber optic transmitters and receivers).  This delay would preclude the Air Force from fulfilling its mission. 

Please refer to Solicitation Number FA8110-20-R-0001 for all instructions, conditions, notices, and general guidance related to this procurement.
