- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract with Martin-Baker Aircraft Company, Ltd. (MBA) of Higher Denham, United Kingdom for supplies and services related to MBA-produced ejection seats and subsystems on behalf of the United States Navy (USN), United States Air Force (USAF), and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs. This requirement will be procured in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. As the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and supplier of ejection seats for multiple USN and USAF aircraft platforms, only MBA has the requisite knowledge, technical expertise, required technical data, production tooling, facilities, and experience necessary to support engineering, manufacturing, testing, and logistics tasks associated with the MBA ejection seats. Ejection seats are critical to aircrew safety and survivability in the event of a mishap. Another contractor could not produce and qualify an ejection seat without resulting in significant duplication of cost to the USN and/or USAF and unreasonable delays to schedule and deliveries. It is estimated that it would take, at a minimum, three years to perform the efforts necessary to qualify another source, thereby unacceptably delaying aircraft delivery to the Fleet. Expressions of interest in subcontracting should contact Chris Hurst at churst@martin-baker.co.uk. Any responses to this synopsis must be via e-mail to the Contract Specialist at Antoinette.Daniels@navy.mil. No telephonic responses will be accepted.
