The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson AFB, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price bridge contract to the Canadian Commercial Corporation. This requirement involves the installation of Block Upgrade (BU) 7.0/8.1 Group A and B kits, as well as delta kits, onto various United States Air Force C-130J and HC-130J aircraft. The bridge action is necessary to maintain continuity of operations for Contractor Kit Installation (CKI) services due to delays in kit procurement and will remain in effect until the follow-on CKI 2 contract is awarded. Work will be performed in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
The procurement is classified under NAICS code 336413, Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, and PSC N016, Installation of Equipment- Aircraft Components and Accessories. There is no set-aside for this action. The government is proceeding with a sole-source award under the rationale that the Canadian Commercial Corporation is the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements without unacceptable delays or duplication of effort. The contract will be executed in accordance with the Defence Production Sharing Agreement (DPSA) Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Defense and the Department of National Defence of Canada.
