J -- Over and Above Line Item for Aircraft Engine Repair Contract

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to add an over and above line item for the base year and each option year under contract N00019-03-D-0013. Contract N00019-03-D-0013 was competitively awarded to General Electric Engine Services (GEES), Inc. on 21 August 2003 for repair of Navy T700-GE-401/ 401C Engines, Cold Section Modules, Power Turbine Modules and Army Material Command (AMCOM) T700-GE-401C Cold Section Modules. The addition of an over and above line item for each year within the contract will provide a contractual mechanism for completing necessary repairs that are within the general scope of the contract, but not covered by line items for the basic work under the contract. This requirement will be negotiated with GEES on a sole-source basis pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” See Numbered Note 22.
