- Description
- The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), New Mexico 87117, hereby formally announces intent to award a sole source purchase order to The Defense Space and Security Boeing Company, 6200 JS McDonnell Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63134-1939. Below is a description of the assets to be provided by Boeing: The AFNWC is in need of two (2) 1:1 scale models of the B61-12 with an exact outward appearance representative of a B61-12 war reserve asset. The models must have an exact replica of the current B61-12 tail kit attached. The models will not contain any working, non-working, unclassified, classified parts within or outside the bomb assembly. The models will only consist of the outer shell and must remain empty on the interior. Paint and all markings will be representative of a B61-12 training asset. The manufacturer will be responsible for design, integration, fabrication, and delivery of two B61-12 Static Models. The B61-12 is a highly specialized component of the Life Extension Program Project Controls System. Under current contract FA2103-13-C-0006, which ends November 2015, Boeing accepted a requirement with the USAF to modernize the B61 free-fall ballistic munition by designing a new tail kit. In producing this modified B61, the Government also funded the creation of consumable castings in order to manufacture models for testing purposes. The Government is able to take the data and give it to another contractor to produce the models in order to compete this requirement. If this is done, the Government would have to fund the creation of castings to enable that contractor to manufacture models, which would result in a duplication of cost to the Government. The replication of the exact specifications of the B61-12 models is essential to the Government. Boeing is the only company with castings for these models already created to the exact specifications of the B61-12. At this time these models are available from no other source without resulting in a substantial duplication of cost to the United States which would not be recovered through competition. The proposed contract action is for a purchase order for which the Air Force intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. Requests for copies of a solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored or acknowledged. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement via email in Microsoft Word format in 3-5 pages to Jennifer Wilterdink, Contracting Officer, jennifer.wilterdink@us.af.mil, Subject Line: Response to Special Notice B6112NOI081715 no later than 15 days after the posting of this notice. All information submitted should support the offeror's capability to provide the assets required, addressing the offeror's access to the data developed by Boeing, and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. All responses received by the due date will be considered by the Government. 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. For specific questions, please contact the Contracting Officer, Jennifer Wilterdink, at jennifer.wilterdink@us.af.mil or by telephone at 505-846-5705. Contracting Office Address: AFNWC/PZIE; 8500 Gibson Blvd SE; Bldg 20202, Rm 219; Kirtland AFB NM 87117 Place of Delivery: Kirtland AFB NM Primary Point of Contact: Jennifer Wilterdink, Contracting Officer, 505-846-5705 or jennifer.wilterdink@us.af.mil
