About this opportunity
This notice seeks to procure two Electronic Sequencer Test Sets, type TTU-515/E, from Teledyne RISI Inc. on a sole source basis. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst intends to issue the award to support the Kuwait F-18 program by eliminating false removal errors for the aircraft's ejection sequencer. Responses to the notice will be considered to determine if competition is warranted, however a decision to not open the requirement is at the government's sole discretion. Responses must be received by September 23, 2020.
No set-aside designation will be used. Teledyne RISI Inc. is currently the only validated manufacturer of this support equipment. Developing an alternate asset would require significant design and testing costs not expected to be recouped through competition. Procuring a non-supported asset could also force workarounds for the foreign military sales partner.

SYNOPSIS
Electronic Sequencer Test Set, Type: TTU-515/E
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst intends to issue an award on a Sole Source basis with Teledyne RISI Inc. to deliver a quantity of two (2) Electronic Sequencer Test Set, Type: TTU-515/E, P/N: 2018AS100-3, NSN: 6625-01-473-2030 in support of the FMS Kuwait F/A-18 E-F Platform. The Electronic Sequencer Test Set is required to eliminate false removal errors for the NACES ejection sequencer and will allow for true failures.
The Government intends to procure the above items under the authority of 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), FAR 6.302-1. Teledyne RISI Inc. is the only currently validated manufacturer of this Support Equipment (SE) and to try to develop this “asset" would incur costs that are not expected to be recouped through competition. Any other sources would require the Government to fund a Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), First Article Test (FAT), and a Test & Evaluation (T&E) effort. Procuring an alternate asset would force the FMS Partner to utilize an asset that is not supported, compatible, or interchangeable with the USN-approved configuration.
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT POSSESS THE TECHNICAL DATA PACKAGE/DRAWINGS TO ALLOW FOR A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT.
All responsible sources may submit a response which may be considered by the Government in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for an award of a contract. Responses must be received within fifteen (15) days of publication of this notice. The point of contact is: Ms. Desiree Pendleton, E-mail: Desiree.Pendleton@navy.mil
