- Sources Sought Template (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Jonathan Hill/ 408 SCMS/GULA TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers NSN 5865-01-449-2053 ALE-50 F-16 Magazine Dispenser SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the ALE-50 F-16 Magazine Dispenser, NSN 5865-01-449-2053, PN 397460-2. ITEM DESCRIPTION The ALE-50 program, a joint development venture by a U.S. Air Force/Navy/Raytheon integrated product team, demonstrates a highly successful multi-service approach to ECM system commonality. The ALE-50 towed decoy acts as a preferential target that lures enemy missiles away by providing a much larger radar cross section than the aircraft. The protection it provides to aircraft and aircrews makes the ALE-50 one of the most important end-game electronic countermeasures available today. The ALE-50 F-16 Magazine Dispenser, NSN 5865-01-449-2053, is an integral part of the ALE-50 towed decoy system, on the F-16 aircraft. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for this item is Meggitt Defense Systems Incorporated (CAGE 62228), which maintains its configuration by part number and software version. The Government does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Meggitt Defense Systems is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the ALE-50 F-16 Magazine Dispenser performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Meggitt Defense Systems for the manufacture of the F-16 Magazine Dispenser in support of the ALE-50 program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 29 July, 2017 by emailing Jonathan Hill at jonathan.hill.15@us.af.mil and dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
