## Description

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD negotiated and awarded a new cost plus fixed fee Contract N0001923C0034 on a sole source basis to Meggitt Defense Systems, Inc. (MDSI) of Irving, CA, for the redesign of the F414-GE-400 Engine Light Off Detector (LOD) to address obsolescence issues. Period of Performance of the delivery order is 28 September 2023 through 30 April 2025. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 U.S.C.

2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, “only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements”. MDSI is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the F414 Engine LOD and is the only firm with the intricate knowledge of the LOD that is required to perform this effort. The Government does not possess a technical data package with Government Purpose Rights for the F414 Engine LOD that is required in order to perform this effort. As such, NAVAIR has determined MDSI is the only responsible source capable of meeting the Government’s minimum needs.
