J -- INTERIM CONTRACTOR SUPPORT POC Contact John D. Lewis, 301-757-8964/Contracting Officer, Catherine M. Haddon, 301-757-8965 E-MAIL: Point of contact, lewisjd4@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command intends to procure on a sole source basis additional Interim Contractor Support (ICS) from the Boeing Company. This support will be for the initial support for the Navy C-40 aircraft which is the replacement aircraft for the Navy DC-9 aircraft. This aircraft provides the capability for cargo and passenger transportation and is capable of providing forward depolyment logistics support. The period for the interim contractor support will be extended from on year, to a base year plus two one-year options. This service is the same type of support service that was procured under the NAVAIR contract N00019-97-C-2034, on a commercial basis, for the first year of aircraft deployment. The contract was awarded on the basis of a competitively solicited, commercial best buy. The above contract will be modified to incorporate the additional interim contractor support. Because the Government did not obtain any data that was proprietary or sufficient to conduct a competitive follow-on procurement the additional period of sole source performance will allow the Government to obtain data in order that out year Contractor Logistics Support may be obtained on a competitive basis. Performance will be for the period of March 2001 through March 2004. The effort under the ICS will require development of the technical information for supply support for the contractual Non-Mission capable, Supply or Partial Mission Capable, Supply, requirement; develop the essential subsystem matrix, to maintain off-site engineering support and depot level maintenance. Any alternate airframe manufacturer would have to develop the necessary logistics support including configuration management, modification coordination, modification and maintenance record keeping, service bulletin accomplishment, Service Bulletin kits and parts,airframe and engine service actions, repairable component service actions, modifications, data management support, subscription service set-up and maintenance, software support, drop-in maintenance support and field teams.
