The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to enter into a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract to General Electric Company (GE) on sole source basis for the procurement of commercial level servicing of the T700-GE-401C and T700-GE-401D Turbo Shaft Engines, Cold Section Modules (CSM), and Power Turbine Modules (PTM) for the United States Navy (USN) H-60 Seahawk and MH-60R/S helicopters and United States Marine Corps (USMC) AH-1Z Cobra and Huey helicopters. The support includes the services of standard rework, repair, and testing of the T700-GE-401C and T700-GE-401D engines in accordance with the Depot Maintenance Work Requirement (DMWR) volumes; and the supply of any Critical Safety Item (CSI) parts required to support the services. Due to the criticality of these engines and modules, it is mandatory that the Contractor be an approved source of repair in accordance with the Joint Aeronautical Commanders’ Group (JACG) Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook, dated 16 Mar 2011, Secretary of the Navy Instruction (SECNAVINST) 4140.2, and be a certified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) repair station or equivalent. The CSI parts required for this effort shall be obtained from an USN Naval Aviation Systems Command (NAVAIR) approved source only.
Each order will have its own specific period of performance based on the requirement. The intended place of performance is the Contractor’s facility. The ordering period under the subject IDIQ is estimated to be April 2025 through March 2030.
The Government intends to award this action on a sole source basis to General Electric Company (GE) under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(l), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." GE is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the T700- series engine. GE is the only source that has the capabilities and complete data necessary to fulfill the Navy’s requirements without unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.
Note: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. 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 6.302. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as production for the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within fifteen days after the publication of this synopsis. 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.
