This order will procure four (4) BRACE, AIRCRAFT GROUND SERVICING. The support is necessary to hold the stabilizer in a stable, trim position or a 22-degree leading-edge-down position during various maintenance activities, such as engine or stabilizer removal and replacement. The recommended solution is the Brace, Aircraft Ground Servicing (P/N: 74D110613-1007) Horizontal Stabilizer Support, which is designed to be usable on both the right and left sides of the aircraft.

Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the BRACE, AIRCRAFT GROUND SERVICING, is the only source with the requisite knowledge, technical experience, and production-level data to produce these components. The components being procured are integral to hold the stabilizer in a stable, trim position or a 22-degree leading-edge-down position during various maintenance activities and are critical to maintaining operational readiness. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate this requirement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of publication…
