The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement Contract N00019-12-G-0006 with the Bell-Boeing Joint Program Office on an other than full and open competitive basis to expand the Non-recurring Engineering (NRE) integrating an Iridium Antenna onto MV-22 Ospreys including delivery of kits and parts to support installations. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR Part 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Bell-Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the V-22 aircraft; and has already completed integration, and installation of Iridium Antennas onto CV-22 Ospreys. As such, Bell-Boeing is the only responsible source with the necessary access to the technical data and requisite expertise to perform the contemplated effort within the required schedule. Bell-Boeing is the sole source managing database requirements for the V-22.
