IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE POTENTIAL OFFERORS TO MONITOR THIS WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THIS REQUIREMENT. 3.0Background In February 2015, the Navy issued an Acquisition Decision Memorandum which identified and supported procurement of a long-range Navy version of the V-22 tilt-rotor as the Airborne Resupply/Logistics for Seabasing (AR/LSB) Carrier On-board Delivery solution to replace the Navy ™s C-2A aircraft. The CMV-22B acquisition approach is based on utilization of a mature platform in the MV-22B Block C aircraft and integration of Navy-specific subsystems/ requirements including additional fuel capacity for extended range, high frequency radio, and a cabin intercom system into an existing air vehicle. The CMV-22B requires no new technology development. As such, the V-22 Program is fulfilling the AR/LSB requirement with an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) modification to the existing MV-22 aircraft. The ECP will add extended range capability with aft/forward sponson and wing tanks, a public address system, fuel jettison capability, cargo bay and loading ramp lighting, and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications with a High Frequency (HF) radio (leveraging an on-going BLOS effort for the CV-22 variant). The NRE for the CMV-22B aircraft ECP is currently on contract with the Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office, which is not expected to be completed until 30 September 2020. The objective of the CMV-22B Aircrew Flight Simulators, Cockpit Trainers and Maintenance Trainers effort is to use the existing MV-22 trainer design specifications as the baseline for the CMV trainers, integrate the CMV changes as defined by the aircraft NRE currently in development by Bell-Boeing and complete training device end item production, testing, spares procurement, and training of instructor and commercially contracted maintenance personnel for the training devices required. While the design specifications are available for the MV-22 version of the trainers, since the CMV-22 aircraft ECP is not completed as noted above, the government does not yet possess the required technical information for the CMV-22B. The Government ™s current acquisition strategy for this requirement is to issue a delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00019-17-G-0002 to Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office on a sole source basis; however the Government is conducting market research to assess whether other potential sources have the capability to perform this requirement. 4.0 Eligibility The applicable NAICS code is 333318 with a Small Business Size standard of 1,250 employees.
