Solicitation N00421-21-Q-0478 is issued as intent to sole source. The Government intends to purchase on
a firm fixed price basis, and to solicit and negotiate the proposed purchase order on a sole source basis
with BUSSMAN AVIATION under the authority implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) Part 12 and 13. The aircraft to be provided for this exercise, the MD-500, is a common airframe
but the requirement to limit fixed costs due to ferry distance and stringent safety pilot requirements
significantly limits the number of qualified providers. This is the only known pre-qualified contractor on
the east coast within acceptable ferry distance, possessing a suitable aircraft of the desired configuration,
with an acceptable safety posture, and is available for hire at the specified time that can provide the
training and demonstration flights. Due to an extremely tight schedule, the period of 9-20 August 2021 is
mandatory to meet USNTPS syllabus requirements.

Offerors must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) Database prior to submission of an offer to be
considered for award of any Department of Defense Contract. This can be accomplished electronically at

This is a firm fixed-price procurement; therefore, the offeror’s initial submission should represent the vendor’s best
quote in terms of price and technical acceptability.
