Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price contract to Rockwell Collins, Inc., of 400 Collins Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52498-0001, to procure E-6B Block IA Very Low Frequency Transmit Terminal (VTT) production kits, installations, and spares to support the FRP modification of fifteen (15) aircraft. Justification for this sole source action is permitted by 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and implemented in FAR 6.302-1, Only one Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Meet Agency Requirements. This contract serves as a follow-on to the existing N00019-09-C-0056 System Development & Demonstration (SD&D) contract to include the purchase of planned spare components, production kits and installs to support the E-6B Full Rate Production effort. Rockwell Collins possesses the only sufficient technical data package to produce and install the VTT system. Additionally, Rockwell Collins possesses the only test facility which allows for full testing of the trailing wire antenna systems on the ground. Rockwell Collins is the OEM of the system, is the only company that has supported the system, and is therefore the only source with the resources and expertise necessary to fulfill the Government's requirements. Award to any other source would cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling requirements. A Solicitation is not available at this time. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the Agency. Inquiries concerning this synopsis should be submitted in writing via electronic mail to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Meghan E. Huett, at [email protected], with a copy to the Procuring Contracting Officer, Ms. Margaret Hayden- Stone, at [email protected]. Telephone requests for information will not be accepted. Interested parties may contact Mr. Tom Rossi of Rockwell Collins regarding subcontracting opportunities at (972) 705-3807 or by electronic mail at [email protected]. If no responses are received within fifteen (15) days, a contract may be awarded without further notice.
