The Government intends to award, on an other than full and open competitive basis, a Firm Fixed Price, five year indefinite quantity/delivery (IDIQ) type contract. The contractor shall furnish all depot level labor, facilities, special tooling, test equipment and materials/parts. Separate pricing is required for: (a) Overhaul, (b) Repair, and (c) Teardown, analysis, repair, rebuild and testing of recently overhauled engines. Input/Output NSN: 2840-01-013-1339, P/N: 6887191.

Currently, the only approved source is the OEM, Rolls Royce Corporation, Indianapolis, Indiana. The Government does not own a technical data package necessary for the overhaul of the T63-A-720 engine.

The Award of this effort will not be delayed awaiting approval of other sources. This requirement is currently unfunded. Award will be withheld pending receipt of sufficient funds.
