The Naval Air Systems Command has awarded a Sole-Source delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-12-G-0002 to Rolls Royce, PLC, Bristol, England, to provide Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) for the Pegasus (AV-8) engine (F402-RR-408A/B) for the Joint Program Office (JPO), which consists of the United States Marine Corps (USMC), Spanish Navy and Italian Navy, pursuant to the authority provided under FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements."
Rolls Royce is the original designer, developer and manufacturer of the F402 (AV-8B) series engine and is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience and technical expertise to continue to provide the required supplies and services. Rolls Royce is the only source with the technical data, facilities and capabilities required to provide the associated system and sustainment support for the F402 (AV-8B) series engine requirements. Rolls-Royce maintains configuration control over the F402 engine and will not provide unlimited rights to the Government. No other manufacturer could design, develop and properly integrate F402 engine upgrades to meet the contract delivery schedules required to resolve issues in the fleet with the current configuration. Rolls Royce was selected as the prime contractor for the original engine development resulting from full and open competition. The Government does not possess a complete Technical Data Package and the rights necessary to conduct a competition and Rolls Royce is not willing to sell the rights to the Government.

Under the proposed order, Rolls Royce shall perform logistic support activities to sustain the operational readiness requirements of the Pegasus engine. The period of performance shall be 01 March 2012 through 31 December 2012.
