Maritime Craft Aerial Delivery System (MCADS) Program

The Government intends to negotiate and award a sole source follow on contract to Airborne Systems Limited (ASL), Llangeinor, Bridgend CF32 8PL, UK in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements IAW FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) . The Government has invested significant money and effort to create a unique 11 Meter Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boat (NSW RIB) Air Drop capability--the Maritime Craft Aerial Delivery System (MCADS) Program. The MCADS Program has procured, tested, certified, and fielded all components and associated MCADS equipment for the past 13 years. An essential component of the MCADS Program is the 11 Meter NSW RIB Airdrop Platform System (APS). This requirement is for 11 Meter NSW RIB APS support. ASL is the original equipment manufacturer. The APS is a developed and fielded boat cradle system that allows air-deployability for the 11 Meter NSW RIB from a fixed wing platform to support infiltration of SOF forces. The MCADS provides an immediate capability to insert SOF forces for current real world contingency operations. The 11 Meter NSW RIB MCADS system including the APS has been certified for airdrop from C-130, C-5, and C-17 aircraft and is reusable to facilitate training and reduce sustainment costs. Contractor responsibilities will include preventative maintenance, training, platform surveys, major overhaul maintenance, repair parts support, and sustaining engineering. Training shall be required at Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story, VA. Surveys and repairs may be performed at locations where platforms are stationed, i.e. JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, Germany, and Guam. This action will result in a new IDIQ contract award for performance to begin January 1, 2015 for a one year period and contain two (2) one (1) year option periods with an estimated total contract maximum value of $2,000,000.
