Eligibility
Contract Type
Presolicitation
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) intends to award a sole-source IDIQ contract to General Electric Aerospace for the development, qualification, test, and sustainment of the Joint Electronic Data Acquisition Interface (JEDAI) Line Replaceable Unit (LRU).
The JEDAI LRU is the required fleet-wide replacement for the Crash Survivable Flight Data Recorder (CSFDR) system for the F-16C/D Block 30/32/40/42/50/52 fleet. The current CSFDR systems are experiencing critical challenges due to aging, high failure rates, and lack of repair options, which directly impacts aircraft availability and mission readiness. This effort will establish a single, standardized LRU to create a common F-16 configuration, address exhausted spares, increase system reliability, and reduce maintenance costs. The total estimated value is $40.4M.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. 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.
Justification for Sole Source (RFO 6.104-1(a)(4))
This acquisition is being conducted on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), which states that only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
Instructions to Responding Parties
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are to submit a response that clearly details their capability to do so without incurring the cost and schedule impacts detailed above. Responses must be submitted by the closing date of this notice to the contracting officer.
