K--Design and Construct a fixed V-22 Aircraft Ground Run Stand

The Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate with the Bell-Boeing Joint Program Office the acquisition of a V-22 Ground Run Stand to support testing of V-22 aircraft, including full conversion testing at full power. The procurement will be made on an other than full and open competitive basis. The Ground Run Stand design and construction will take place at Bell Helicopter in Amarillo, Texas. These requirements will be procured in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. The Bell-Boeing Team is the designer, developer and sole producer of the MV-22 tiltrotor aircraft and is therefore the only known source for the efforts described herein.*****
