Naval Air Systems Command, V-22 Joint Program Office, PMA-275 issued Firm Fixed Price (FFP) / Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Delivery Order N0001924F0014 under Basic Ordering Agreement N0001922G0002 to the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office on a sole-source basis for MV-22 Integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (IASE) A-Kits and Installs, MV-22 Department of the Navy (DoN) Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Processor Upgrade (DLPU) A-Kits and Installs, and CV-22 DLPU A-Kits and Installs.

This action was awarded on a sole source basis to the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office in accordance with the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition under Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR Part 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Bell Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and producer of the V-22 Tiltrotor aircraft and is the only known source that possesses the requisite knowledge and expertise required to perform this effort. Also, Bell Boeing is the only source that possesses the totality of engineering and technical data required to perform this effort.

This Delivery Order includes FFP and CPFF Contract Line Item Numbers, FFP A-Kits and CPFF Installs. CPFF was selected for the Install CLINs because there are uncertainties involved in contract performance that do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract.
