Corrosion Training Aids and Courseware for F/A-18 A-G

The subject notice has been cancelled and will be re-synopsized with a different justification and approval attached.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando, in support of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis and award a contract to The Boeing Company for the analysis, design, development, and delivery of F/A-18A-G corrosion prevention training aids and courseware. Resulting corrosion training products include: two Form-In-Place (FIP) seal training aids, two Low Observables (LO) training devices, updates to existing courseware and new development courseware, and all associated hardware. The expected period of performance of the contract will be 24 months and the anticipated value is $3,300,000.
The subject sole source contract will be awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source).
Both the F/A-18 and the E/A-18G aircrafts are still in production. Boeing has been the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and supplier of the F/A-18 and E/A-18G aircraft and systems and therefore possesses all of the technical data required to develop training. Only Boeing possesses the unique and specialized engineering capability, resources, subject matter expertise, tooling, facilities, aerodynamic and structural appraisal of fatigue effects databases, manufacturing techniques, and technical data critical to satisfying the Government’s minimum requirements. Furthermore, Boeing has the established supplier base, in addition to management, engineering and manufacturing processes, that are critical for the continued support of these requirements.
