Notice ID: N68335-27-Q-1038

Classification Code: J049 – Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment: Aerospace Craft Components and Accessories

NAICS Code(s): 811210 – Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance

Description:

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Lakehurst, NJ intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Eaton Mission Systems Davenport (CAGE Code 99251) for the repair, test, evaluation, and calibration of the Aircraft Oxygen System Test Set Part Number 1582AS500-2 (TTU-520A/E, NSN: 4920-01-422-8691, SN: 000303136) for the FMS Kuwait F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet Program in support of the United States Navy (USN).

The proposed contract action is for services and supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), only one source reasonably available and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Eaton Mission Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this equipment and possesses the proprietary technical data and design specifications required to perform these repairs. It is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government (estimated between $200,000 and $250,000 for technical data, engineering reviews, and First Article Testing) that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Zaib Nageeb, at zaib.nageeb.civ@us.navy.mil.

Responses to this notice must be submitted by 19 November 2026. A determination not to compete this requirement is within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in a future competition.
