MH-60R/S Common Avionics Multifunction Display and Smart Multifunction Display (CAMFD & SMFD) Replacement Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) Qualification

The Naval Air System Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Delivery Order to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS), Owego, New York, to procure the Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) efforts required to address a known Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) problem in the current MH-60R/S Common Cockpit Display referred to as Alternate Source Display (ASD).  This NRE effort will support MH-60R/S sustainment needs, such as spares and repairs, along with future production opportunities. The projected delivery date is 21 December 2022.

This action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS) under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10, U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other type of Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." LM RMS is the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the MH-60R and MH-60S aircraft and weapon system and, as such, is the only source with the requisite knowledge and skilled personnel, facilities, manufacturing tooling, test equipment, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies and services.

Note: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as the NRE efforts listed require a substantial initial investment and an extended period of preparation. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within thirty days after the publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
