F-16 Cable Assembly

The 416th SCMS / GUMMA intends to issue a sole source contract to purchase (5) F-16 Cable Assemblies, NSN: 6150-01-555-8884 WF to the contractor (ICOR International, Inc.)

Notice of Intent to award a Sole Source Procurement in accordance with FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. The Government intends to issue a sole source contract to the contractor (ICOR International, Inc.) which will provide (5) F-16 Cable Assemblies, contracting by Negotiation. This requirement is considered sole source due to the fact there is an unusual and compelling urgency for the F-16 Cable Assemblies. There is currently MICAPS for the cable assembly due to errors provided in data provided to the government and suppliers. This has resulted in a delay of obtaining parts for the warfighter. Due to additional lead time involved with meeting the first article requirements of this part, the need is to source enough parts to cover the MICAP requirements to a supplier that is not required to provide a first article part. ICOR as the OEM for this cable assembly is not required to provide the first article part. The Air Force is only aware of one supplier that can supply the parts with the first article waiver. The only vendor the program engineer will waive the first article requirement for is ICOR. The NAICS code for this requirement is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment) with a small business size standard of 1250. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and all other interested contractors shall submit a capabilities document which states their abilities on fulfilling this requirement.
