Tube Servicing Machine (P/N 05-0568) & Chipless Tube Cutter System (P/N 05-1354) for V-22 Aircraft

The Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD) Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Tri Tool Inc. (CAGE 53573), located in Rancho Cordova, CA, for the manufacture, assembly and delivery of Model 572AC Servermaster Tube Machines, P/N 05-0568, NSN 4920-01-580-5146 and Model 550 Chipless Tube Cutter Systems, P/N 05-1354, NSN 5180-01-475-8425 in support for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (GOJ/JGSDF) MV-222B Block C Tiltrotor Aircraft Program.

Tri Tool, Inc. is the prime integrator on the V-22 Aircraft and is the designer, developer and manufacturer (Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)) of the current Tube Cutting Set. An adequate purchase description or other information suitable for this effort has not been developed because the Government does not have sufficient engineering data nor does the Government own the technical data. The specific information on the self-contained set of tools and accessories resides with the OEM; therefore, the Government does not own the drawings to make available. The Government intends to procure the above under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1.

This notice of intent 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. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of this notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
