The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to issue a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition, in accordance with FAR 6.302-l(a)(2)(iii), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements," to authorize and approve the issuance of a modification to NAVSUP Contract N00383-15-D-008F to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (LM RMS).  This effort is to conduct a short-term pilot program to analyze data from the MH-60R Advanced Low Frequency Sonar (ALFS) system to improve reliability and readiness.  LM RMS is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the ALFS Data Analytics Tool (ADAT).  LM-RMS is the only company with the knowledge and in-depth experience required to provide the analytical support utilizing the ADAT.  No other firm possesses the required data and expertise on this tool.

Specific performance requirements include identification of relationships, leading indicators, key metrics, usage parameters and heuristics related to aircraft/ALFS operations. The analysis will characterize known relationships, define normal behavior and identify anomalous behavior in the data.

Responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the agency.  Any offer must clearly demonstrate the capability to respond to this requirement without detriment to the H-60 Helicopter Program and must include personnel/resources specifically qualified to provide the supplies/services described.  The capability statement must include your approach to accomplish this effort for the H-60 Helicopter Program.  This notice is not a request for proposals and does not imply or promise that the Government intends to award a contract vehicle as a result of this notice or in response to any capability statement received.  The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred to prepare responses to this notice.
