Description
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a Basic Ordering Agreement on a sole source basis to Enterprise Ventures Corporation (EVC) to support the Airborne Mine Countermeasure (AMCM) Carriage, Stream, Tow and Recovery System (CSTRS). This action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to EVC under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(l), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other type of Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." EVC is the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the CSTRS and, as such, is the only source with the requisite knowledge and skilled personnel, facilities, manufacturing tooling, test equipment, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies. Orders under this BOA will be issued to ensure comprehensive sustainment support, system modernization, and on-demand access to engineering, technical, and subject matter expert support. This support will encompass troubleshooting, system analysis, design modifications, and will address other technical challenges related to the AMCM CSTRS mission kits. EVC will play a critical role in mitigating risks by leveraging engineering, technical, and subject matter expertise to proactively identify issues and implement corrective actions to address obsolescence within the associated WRAs and SRAs. Specifically, EVC will provide engineering expertise to evaluate and resolve obsolescence challenges, implement system updates to enhance operational reliability, and deliver tailored technical solutions to maintain mission readiness. These efforts will include the proactive identification of at-risk components, development of replacement strategies, and integration of advanced technologies to ensure the continued effectiveness and sustainability of the AMCM CSTRS mission kits in support of operational requirements. Note: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as production for the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within thirty days after the publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Ms. Jennifer Blough, Enterprise Ventures Corporation, 100 CTC Drive, Johnstown, PA 15904
