Description

This Notice is issued in accordance with FAR 5.204. This is not a Request for Proposals. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this Notice. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Notice or otherwise pay any person's costs incurred responding to this Notice. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a contract action, on an other than full and open basis under FAR 6.302-1, to The Boeing Company (Boeing) located in Seattle, WA timeline for the procurement of approximately 180 Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI) Seal Dam & Clam Shell retrofit kits for P-8A Poseidon aircraft. This contract action is planned to be awarded in the third quarter of Government Fiscal Year 2027 with all deliveries completed by fourth quarter of Government Fiscal Year 2033. The P-8A consists of the basic commercial 737-800 ERX air vehicle, modified to meet Navy requirements, and numerous systems and subsystems, including simulators, avionics, communications, mission, and weapon system requirements. The P-8A system development started with a Boeing 737-800 basic design that underwent a significant structural and system modification/re-design in order to meet the Navy's Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) mission and performance requirements. While the P-8A aircraft is unique in its design and performance characteristics, the 737-800 design that exists within is based on proprietary or limited rights technical data for which no rights are granted to the Government. Furthermore, Boeing, as the P-8A developer and system integrator, is the only source with the necessary (and unique) technical resources, personnel and modeling facilities (some of which are based on proprietary or limited rights 737-800 baseline systems) to fulfill Government requirements.
