SEI is the only source producing Thin-Pack Parachute Systems using the Thin-Pack/Lightweight Environmentally Sealed Parachute Assembly (LESPA) technology and is the only source to pack, mark and ship TPP systems without violating existing warranties. Thin-Pack Parachute drawing packages and associated packing, sealing, and closing processes has proprietary markings, making required design and maintenance information unreleasable. Period of performance will remain unchanged from May 16, 2000 through 30 Sep 2001. Place of performance: contractor's facility Asheville, NC. FOB Origin. Solicitation will be issued on or about November 15, 2000 and will be available through the NAWCWD 2.0 Contracts Competency home page at http://www.nawcwpns.navy.mil/~contract/homepubl.htm.
