Repair or Replacement of C-40A Combination Components

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to issue a delivery order under N00019-05-G-0026 for the repair or replacement of C-40A combination components to The Boeing Company, Derivative Aircraft Programs Division, Seattle, Washington, on a sole source basis using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 commercial contracting procedures. The C-40A is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified, commercial derivative cargo/transport aircraft that has been modified with Navy specified requirements, which consist of cargo door, cargo handling system and combination configuration. The original C-40A aircraft contract was competitively awarded to The Boeing Company in Fiscal Year 1997. The Boeing Company is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and is the only source for the C-40A aircraft. The order will be issued on an other than full and open competition basis based on the fact that The Boeing Company is the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the C-40A aircraft and possesses the required commercial data that is not available to the Government. The anticipated award date of this order is on or about 31 July 2008. No solicitation document exists. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen calendar days after date of publication of this synopsis. Responses received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The contract award will be accomplished under FAR 6.302-1: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. See Numbered Note 22.
