The Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ, under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract, on a sole-source basis, to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Indianapolis, IN for the production of Lot One of the Common Aircraft Armament Test Set (CAATS) and the Pure Air Generator (PAG) Adapter Set (PAS) to test and troubleshoot bomb racks, missile launchers, pylons and emerging weapons carriage devices across most aircraft weapons systems. The PAS interfaces with the CAATS to test the LAU-7 and LAU-127 Hi-Pressure Pure Air Generator (HiPPAG) Launchers. The CAATS, which includes the PAS, will replace the legacy A/E37T-35A Common Rack and Launcher Test Set (CRALTS) which has reliability and obsolescence issues as well as design limitations that impact its ability to support future weapons carriage requirements.

SAIC will sustain all drawings, configuration management, logistics, release and control requirements, design, manufacturing, testing, and calibration throughout the first lot of production of the CAATS and PAS. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), SAIC possesses the required expertise to finalize the production drawing package to facilitate a competitive procurement for the follow-on production requirements.  The Government does have the rights to the drawings; however the drawings have not been finalized and the Government does not yet have possession of the drawings.  Concurrently producing the first lot of the CAATS/PAS while accomplishing the physical configuration audit, then finalizing the drawing package prior to the Government taking ownership, will insure that a suitable drawing package is available for the follow on competitive production procurements.


Interested firms may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government will consider all responses received to this notice.  A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.  No solicitation will be available for this procurement.
