About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for sealant removal, primer, and reapplication of EF-5992 sealant on fuel cells and surfaces of nine E-6B aircraft. The contract will be awarded directly to Performance Aircraft Systems, Inc. (PASI) on a non-competitive basis, utilizing the authority under U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR Subpart 6.302-1. NAVAIR has determined that PASI is the only vendor capable of performing these specialized services without risking damage to aircraft structures. The government will consider capability statements, proposals, or quotations received within 30 days of the publication date, though a competitive solicitation will not be issued. A Sources Sought Notice was previously issued from January 23 to February 7, 2025, which informed the decision to proceed with a non-competitive procurement.
The contract will cover services to be performed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, with an anticipated ordering period spanning Fiscal Year 2025 through 2029, including options for two additional one-year ordering periods. No specific set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement. The sole source justification is based on PASI's unique capability to perform sealant removal and reapplication without compromising aircraft structural integrity, with the government determining that awarding to another vendor would result in substantial duplicate costs. Companies interested in potential subcontracting opportunities are advised to contact Julie Jones at PASI directly via email. The procurement falls under NAICS code 488190 for Other Support Activities for Air Transportation and Product Service Code J015 for Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuild of Aircraft and Airframe Structural Components.
Notice text
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Airborne Strategic Command, Control and Communications Program Office (PMA-271), intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Performance Aircraft Systems, Inc. (PASI), 600 E Dallas Road #500, Grapevine, Texas 76051, on an other than full and open basis, for the sealant removal, primer and reapplication of EF-5992 sealant on the fuel cells and surfaces on nine (9) E-6B aircraft. The anticipated ordering period will be Fiscal Year 2025 through 2029, with the option for two additional one-year ordering periods. The place of performance will be at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma during aircraft depot maintenance events.
The authority permitting other than full and open competition is provided by U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, only one responsible source. This action is a follow-on to a previously awarded contract to PASI for the same services and PASI is the only vendor that is able to perform sealant removal and primer and sealant application on the E-6B without causing damage to the aircraft structures. Award to any other vendor would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
A Sources Sought Notice for the subject requirement was issued on 23 January 2025 and closed on 07 February 2025. Based on the information presented above and the result of the Sources Sought Notice, other than full and open competition was determined to be utilized. The NAVAIR Office of Small Business Programs concurred with the determination.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS and a competitive solicitation will not be issued. However, the Government will consider all capability statements, proposals, or quotations received within thirty (30) days after the publication date of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract is solely within the discretion of the Government. Companies interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact PASI directly Julie Jones, at JJones@performanceacs.com.
