About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command has awarded a sole-source contract modification to The Boeing Company for the F/A-18 & EA-18G Service Life Extension/Assessment Program (SLAP/SLEP), valued at $25,733,480. The contract extends the procurement of services supporting the United States Navy and Royal Australian Air Force aircraft modification efforts, focusing on assessing and extending the fatigue life of F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft structures from 6,000 to 7,500 flight hours. Authorized under FAR 6.302-1 as a cost-plus fixed fee contract, the award covers comprehensive engineering analyses, developing modification solutions, and planning physical aircraft alterations to meet service life goals, with the contract period extending through September 2028. The sole-source justification is based on Boeing's unique technical expertise and existing capabilities in performing specialized aircraft maintenance and modification services for these specific aircraft platforms.
Notice text
The purpose of this modification award is to extend the procurement of services and suppliers that support the United States Navy (USN) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Service Life Assessment Program (SLAP) and Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) by adding a new ordering period beyond the current period ending on 24 April 2025. The work associated with this program includes the assessment of fatigue life of the structure, developing change proposals and solutions to address issues hindering the aircraft’s life extension, and planning for the physical modification of the aircraft to achieve the USN’s and RAAF’s service life goals.
This effort is a sole source award to The Boeing Company, as authorized by FAR 6.302-1 “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.”
A cost plus fixed fee contract type was determined appropriate in accordance with FAR 16.301-2(a)(2) at the time of the original contract award due to the uncertainties involved in contract performance, specifically in the area of engineering analyses, which have not been done previously. The full level of the efforts are unknown in that the detailed tasks required to support the SLAP/SLEP engineering analyses cannot be clearly defined and the Contractor’s required performance cannot be objectively quantified to a sufficient degree.
Awarded contract N0001920D0051-P00005 to THE BOEING COMPANY for 25733480.00 on 2025-04-25.
