The Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) has an urgent requirement to perform an on-site evaluation, repair, and provide operational and maintenance training for a Government-owned Chant Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) Test Cart (Part Number 30787-01). Chant Engineering Co., Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for this test stand and is the only known source with the necessary technical expertise, proprietary data, and source code required to perform the evaluation, repair, and training to restore the equipment to full operational capability. The Government does not own the data rights to the source code or OEM specifications necessary to perform this effort. For this reason, the Government intends to procure these services on a sole source basis from Chant Engineering Co., Inc. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which, if received within five (5) calendar days after the date of the publication of this synopsis, will be considered. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
