About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking engineering support services for the Recovery Assist, Secure, and Traverse (RAST) System. The selected contractor will be responsible for proactively reviewing the RAST system and components to identify risk items and propose new components in advance of obsolescence issues. Key requirements include analyzing projects to identify predictive indicators of component wind-down, updating spares lists, contributing to DMSMS reviews, and coordinating with manufacturing engineering. This is a market research effort to determine potential and eligible vendors, and the government is not obligated to issue a Request for Proposal or award a contract as a result.
This is not a set-aside procurement, and the government has not specified a budget range or potential award value. The notice does not identify any potential incumbent contractors. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit a response within five days of the publication of the notice, which will be used by the government to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
