Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), in support of PMA-299, MH-60 Multi-Mission Helicopter Program Office, intends to award a Simplified Acquisition on a sole source basis to Enterprise Ventures Corporation (EVC) to provide evaluation, identification, and proposed engineering solution for the Winch Controller Assembly (WCA part number 38010-2; NIIN 016444306) Bumper Bean Isolator (part number PRV-0891- 23) within the Airborne Mine Countermeasure (AMCM) Carriage, Stream, Tow and Recovery System (CSTRS) Weapons Replaceable Assembly (WRA). This action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to EVC under the authority permitting other than full and open competition, as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). EVC is the sole designer, developer, systems integrator, and manufacturer of the Bumper Bean Isolator and, as such, is the only source with the requisite knowledge and skilled personnel, facilities, manufacturing tooling, test equipment, experience, and technical data necessary to provide the required supplies and services. Note: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of [FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), soliciting from a single source]. The Government does not intend to fund the development or qualification of other sources for fulfilling this requirement, as production for the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture. However, the Government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within thirty days after the publication of this synopsis. 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. Questions concerning subcontracting opportunities should be directed to Ms. Jennifer Blough, Enterprise Ventures Corporation, 100 CTC Drive, Johnstown, PA 15904
