The Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ, under the authority of 41 USC 1901, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (Certain Commercial Items), intends to award a Fixed Price, five (5) year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, on a sole-source basis, to Stinar Corporation, Eagan, MN (CAGE: 32526) for the manufacture of P/N CPW-100-2, Potable Water Cart. The minimum quantity is two (2) and the maximum quantity for all ordering years is thirty (30). This procurement will provide requirements to support initial outfitting for P-8A aircraft maintenance support for the United States Navy (USN), Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Partner Countries and Foreign Military Sales Customers. The above Support Equipment (SE) was designed by Stinar Corporation at their own expense and tested to meet specifications for maintenance of the Boeing 737 and P-8A aircraft, that the Navy does not have access to. Stinar Corporation owns all proprietary rights to the engineering data and detailed product drawings. Stinar Corporation is the only manufacturer with the unique technical expertise to supply these items. An adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by full and open competition has not been developed because the Government does not have sufficient engineering data or drawings to organically design the above items and enable a competitive procurement. Stinar Corporation is the only source that is capable of providing the above item to the same form, fit and function that is compatible with the existing configurations.

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov) is mandatory for consideration. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based on the responses to this notice will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit an award of a contract.
