CY20 Component Improvement Program (CIP) NP2000 Modern Pump Housing
The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Contracts Department, Patuxent River, MD in support of NAVAIR 4.4, Propulsion and Power, intends to negotiate an order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-19-G-0007 on a sole source basis with Collins Aerospace, One Hamilton Road, Windsor Locks, CT 06096, in support of the T56 Propeller Component Improvement Program (CIP). The order includes work scope found under 2020 Engineering Project Descriptions (EPDs) for the NP2000 Modern Pump Housing (MPH): The Propeller CIP allows the Navy to increase the safety, reliability, and maintainability and reduce the cost of operating its propeller systems. The Navy requires technical testing, integration, maintenance, repair, logistics, hardware, and engineering support for the propellers that power Navy E-2, C-2, P-3, and C-130 aircraft. The Government intends to procure under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Collins Aerospace is uniquely qualified to provide the complete range of program support required by the USN, USMC, and FMS fleets. Collins Aerospace is also the only known firm to possess the technical data, drawings, and specifications necessary to fulfill the Government requirements. Given that Collins Aerospace is the original designer and prime manufacturer and their continued involvement in the past and recent propeller system improvements, Collins Aerospace has all the design intent information, original drawings, and most recent design changes, which are required to avoid undesirable interactions between existing and redesigned hardware. Collins Aerospace also has immediate access to tooling, special equipment and test facilities as well as sub-vendors similar tooling and facilities. These are required to verify, design, and test new proposed engineering solutions. Privately developed data, materials, and design processes are the sole property of Collins Aerospace. These provide Collins Aerospace with the unique ability to identify and correct problems with the T56 Propeller.
