Sole Source P8 Mission System Requirements

The intention of this solicitation is to award a two year, Sole Source Requirements contract to Boeing. The repair contract will include two Base Years.
The design of these parts are unstable. Engineering, manufacturing, or performance characteristics indicate that the required design objectives have not been achieved. The P-8 aircraft is currently in the Interim Support (ISS) phase of the life-cycle process and pre-physical configuration audit (PCA). Major changes are contemplated as these items have demonstrated marginal performance during tests and evaluation.
These changes may render these items obsolete and unstable in their present configuration. During ISS, the aircrafts mission systems are experiencing constant anomalies and variance within their respective configuration. One of the critical functions of the interim phase is to determine a baseline configuration, which impacts maintenance requirements and logistical support.
As the program develops and passes the various milestones, logistical requirements will vary such that the Navy must contract only with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) - Boeing - at this time.
This procurement is being processed in accordance with Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The applicable NAICS code is 336413.
This requirement will be procured in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
