Aircraft Accessories / Harness

Under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Aviation Management intends to issue a sole source, firm-fixed price Commercial Item purchase order to Aero Design Works, for the acquisition of aircraft harnesses for DOI fleet aircraft. The specially engineered and designed aircraft harnesses are required to provide connectivity and computer interface between the pilot or passenger headsets, aircraft instruments, and a computer to automate wildlife survey data collection. The harnesses are a unique configuration and they are portable and interchangeable from aircraft to aircraft. No other known product provides the functionality and connectivity required to support DOI fleet aircraft avionics. This announcement constitutes the only notice. The NAICS code is 336413: "Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing." The sole source authority for this purchase is Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." Determination not to compete this proposed procurement was made because Aero Design Works was the only provider found for the aircraft harness.
