Quick Summary
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Lakehurst, NJ, under the Department of the Navy, intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Dayton T. Brown (CAGE Code 96362) for the procurement of approximately nine (9) Ground Hand Trailers. These trailers, identified by Part Number 315009-2-001-1 (NSN 4920-01-690-2507), are essential for the safe transport of radomes during aircraft maintenance for the U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force. This notice is a Presolicitation and not a Request for Proposal.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for specialized ground support equipment used to transport radomes once removed from aircraft. This enables access to critical Satellite Communication, Level of Service, Global Positioning System, and Ultra High Frequency antennas during scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 4920 (Aircraft Maintenance And Repair Shop Specialized Equipment).
Contract Details & Justification
NAVAIR intends to award this contract non-competitively under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, citing "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Specifically, the justification notes that awarding to any other source would likely result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
Response & Timeline
This is not a Request for Proposal. However, all responsible sources are invited to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation. These submissions will be considered by the agency, but no contract will be awarded based on offers received in response to this notice. The purpose of such submissions is to provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in a future competition.
