ECP 6516 Advanced Cockpit System Upgrade

Synopsis

The Naval Air Systems Command, PMA-265 (Program Office for F/A-18 and EA-18G Aircraft) intends to solicit and negotiate a firm-fixed-price order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-16-G-0001 to the Boeing Company (TBD) to incorporate ECP 6516 "Advanced Cockpit System (ACS) Upgrade" into F/A-18E/F/G aircraft.

The ACS installs a 10x19 Large Area Display (LAD) into the forward and aft cockpits of F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircraft. The ACS LAD replaces the 5x5 forward and aft Advanced Multipurpose Displays, the 8x10 aft Advanced Multipurpose Display, the Upfront Control Display Replacement, and the Multipurpose Color Display Replacement. To accommodate the LAD, the Head Up Display (HUD) and MARS HUD camera will be replaced with a Low Profile Head Up Display (LPHUD) and new configuration HUD camera, and the Engine Fuel Display/Replacement (EFD/EFDR) will be replaced with a Low Profile Engine Fuel Display (LPEFD). The Standby Display/Repeater (RSD/RSDR) will be added to aircraft that do not already have it incorporated. The High Speed Video Network (HSVN) Digital Video Recorder (HDVR) is a required prerequisite equipment for the ACS. The ACS is part of the overall Block III upgrade.

This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304 (C) (1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Boeing is the designer, developer, and manufacturer; and as such, has the manufacturing knowledge, experience, and technical data required to fulfill this requirement within the time required.
