View moreNASA Armstrong Flight Research Center intends to award a sole source contract for the Low Boom Flight Demonstration Project Phase 3 Extra Structure and Extra Spares. This procurement serves as a risk reduction strategy to acquire critical spare aircraft structural components and subsystems for the X-59 low boom flight demonstrator aircraft. By securing these additional parts, the agency aims to reduce potential aircraft downtime should damage occur during the research flight phase, which supports the establishment of standards for supersonic overland flight.
The proposed contract is designated under NAICS 336411 Aircraft Manufacturing and PSC 1510 AIRCRAFT, FIXED WING. NASA intends to solicit this requirement from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company in Palmdale, California, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. As the current developer of the X-59, the contractor possesses the specialized tooling, manufacturing knowledge, and established supply chain necessary to ensure deliverables are identical to the original aircraft. The government has determined that utilizing an alternative source would result in significant costs and schedule delays.
Interested sources may submit their capabilities and qualifications for the P3ES2 requirement to Robbin Kessler by 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time on June 21, 2020. Submissions will be evaluated to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis.
