E-6B Sealant Removal and Replacement

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a Sole Source contract to Performance Aircraft Services Inc. (PASI) for the procurement of services and supplies in support of the removal and replacement of sealant in fuel cells and on aircraft surfaces, as well as on the internal surface of wing fuel tanks, excluding the center wing tank, of up to sixteen (16) E-6B aircraft. This contract will also procure upgraded fuel cell sealant to achieve weight savings. This work will be accomplished in accordance with the NAVAIR approved medium water pressure sealant removal process to reduce risk of water intrusion, aircraft damage, fuel leaks, contamination, and/or corrosion.

This intended procurement will be processed pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304 (c)(1), whereby the supplies and services required are available from only one responsible source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Failure to meet required timelines will result in a delay to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition as well as failure to comply with Ready for Tasking (RFT) schedule constraints.

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, responsible interested parties may submit a capability statement in which they identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider all information received by 24 November 2016, 1700 EST. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for any information received. For other information, contact Andrea Long, Code 2.3.1.4.4, Telephone (301)757-5298, e-mail: andrea.Long@navy.mil.
