Search and rescue (SAR) kit integration and airworthiness testing

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a contract to the Boeing Company (Boeing), 7755 E Marginal Way S., Seattle, WA 98108-4002, on an other than full and open basis for the procurement of: (1) integration of the Full SAR Store into the P-8A; and (2) airworthiness support to include Engineering/Data Requirements Agreement Plan (EDRAP) required to integrate the store on P-8A. The planned period of performance is from October 2016 through December 2017. The effort shall be procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Type of Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements." Boeing is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator of the P-8A aircraft, and therefore is the only source with the requisite knowledge, experience, technical data, computer software, computer software documentation, facilities, and qualified personnel that can meet the Government's requirements on a timely basis. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties, however, may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement. The Government will consider all capability information received on or before 28 December 2015. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No phone inquiries will be entertained.
