The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), V-22 Joint Program Office (PMA-275) intends to negotiate and award a Delivery Order under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Honeywell International Inc. – 2525 W 190th St, Torrance, CA 90504-6002, USA on a sole source basis for:

The procurement of Variable Frequency Generator (VFG) Life of Type Buy (LTB) for obsolete material under the Honeywell International Inc. BOA. The Delivery Order is in-scope to the terms of the Basic Contract for procurement and delivery of VFG components to support production of the V-22 Aircraft.

This action is being awarded on a sole source basis to Honeywell International Inc. in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR Part 6.103-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” Honeywell International Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the VFG. The Government does not possess (or cannot provide) the data necessary to perform the required repairs of the items. Consequently, Honeywell International Inc. is the only responsible source with the necessary access to the technical data and requisite expertise to perform the contemplated effort within the required schedule.

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 6.103. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any capability statements received within fifteen days after date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
