F/A-18E/F and EA-18G TOFT NASMP NSF-1 Sensor Model Upgrades

This notice is modified to add spares to the requirement.



THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Orlando intends to award a delivery order under the Boeing Corporate Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-16-G-0001 to Boeing Defense Space and Security, Training Systems and Government Services (Boeing) for the procurement of Naval Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP) System Fidelity –One (NSF-1) development, integration and delivery of Sensor Model upgrades and spares to the Fleet inventory of 23 F/A-18E/F and EA-18G TOFTs at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, CA, Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore, CA, NAS Oceana, VA, NAS Whidbey Island, WA, and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni, Japan.

Boeing has been the sole designer, developer, weapons system integrator, and producer of the F/A-18A-F and EA-18G aircraft. Boeing created the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft systems software and modifies the aircraft’s Systems Configuration Set (SCS) to include Operational Flight Program (OFP) software. Boeing provided software for design, engineering, simulations, and operational evaluation that were used in the development of the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft. These modified subsystem models are used to develop and test not only the SCS/OFP, but each SCS/OFPs associated sensor models, and are essential to the continued development and support of the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft and training systems.

Only Boeing possesses the unique capabilities to effectively develop training systems, with accurate simulation of these sensor models, concurrently with the aircraft. Award to any other contractor would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that would not be recovered through competition and would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling F/A-18E/F and EA-18G mission training requirements.



This is a notice that outlines the Government’s intent to contract on a sole source basis with Boeing. However, interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government.

In doing so, interested sources must submit detailed technical capabilities, ability to obtain FA-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft elements and simulation technical data, and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted by email to Ms. Jessica Roach (Jessica.Roach@navy.mil) in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2003, no later than 22 Dec 2017. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than TEN (10) pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This synopsis is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received, the Contract for the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G TOFT NASMP NSF-1 Sensor Model upgrades and spares will be awarded without further notice prior to award.



This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C.(c)(1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements).

Matters pertaining to this notification may be directed to Jessica Roach at 407-380-8112 or via email at Jessica.Roach@navy.mil.
