Quick Summary
The U.S. Air Force is pursuing a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the sole-source acquisition of New Manufacture of Compressor Blade Sets for the TF33 Engine. This procurement, identified by NSN 2840004399228 RV and Part Number 410029, is restricted to the only known source(s) capable of providing these critical parts, as previous market research and sources sought notices did not identify other interested vendors.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the new manufacture of 2,033 sets of Compressor Blade Sets for the TF33 Engine. These items are AMSC "P" coded, meaning the Government does not own the data or distribution rights, and reverse engineering has been determined uneconomical.
Contract Details
This acquisition will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price, Fixed Quantity contract. The estimated total dollar value is between $700,000 and $13,500,000. The contracting officer will negotiate to ensure a fair and reasonable price, conducting a detailed cost or price analysis if necessary.
Eligibility & Set-Aside
This acquisition is restricted to the only source(s) of supply known to have the capability to furnish the required items, under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). It is not an open competition.
Submission & Evaluation
This document serves as a justification for a sole-source award and is not a solicitation for proposals. Market research, including a sources sought notice posted in August 2018, did not identify any other capable vendors. Further market research will be conducted via synopsis of the proposed acquisition.
Logistics Requirements
Successful contractors must comply with specific packaging and transportation standards. Packaging requires adherence to MIL-STD-129 (marking) and MIL-STD-2073-1 (packaging), including strict requirements for Wood Packaging Material (WPM) such as debarking and heat treatment. Transportation terms are recommended as F.O.B. Origin with Prepaid Freight, with instructions to contact DCMA Transportation for shipping guidance. The designated destination for shipment is the DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma at Tinker AFB.
