Award Synopsis for Germany P-8A Simulator Integration Kit and Long Lead Items

The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, is awarded a $12,617,552 firm-fixed-price order (N6134024F0097) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N6134019G0002). This order procures long lead components for the operational flight trainer (OFT), weapons tactics trainer, and part task trainer, to include the OFT systems integration kit, aircraft common operating equipment, classroom requirements, and spares in support of the P-8A Poseidon Training Suite for the Government of Germany.

Work will be performed in St. Louis, Missouri and is expected to be completed in August 2027. Foreign military sales customer funds in the amount of $12,617,552 will be obligated at the time of award, none of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, Orlando, Florida, is the contracting activity.

As the current sole designer, developer, integrator, manufacturer and supplier of P-8A Systems and subsystems; hardware and software components, only Boeing possesses the requisite knowledge, engineering expertise, and data rights required to design, build, modify, upgrade and deliver P-8A aircrew training systems to ensure concurrency with Fleet aircraft within the requisite delivery schedule.

The training systems require concurrent incorporation of advanced and emerging technologies specific in design or application to the P-8A aircraft. Boeing is the only contractor that can build and upgrade P-8A trainers concurrently with changes being made to the aircraft; because only Boeing has access to the requisite aircraft design data, aircraft specific software and simulated models during the design/development of the aircraft.

This award synopsis announces the Germany P-8A Simulator Integration Kit and Long Lead Items award on a sole-source basis with Boeing. This acquisition was procured on a sole source basis under statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements).

The Class Justification and Approval (Class J&A) for Use of Other than Full and Open Competition (18-0224) has been included as an attachment to this award notice. Matters pertaining to this notification may be directed to Kirsten Pruim via email at kirsten.p.pruim.civ@us.navy.mil.
