MQ-4C RAAF & USN Hydraulic Fluid Bulk Dispensing Unit PN 061482-100MOD2

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, intends to solicit, negotiate, and make an award on a sole-source basis with Hydraulics International, Inc., for the procurement of an estimated minimum quantity of 15 units with an estimated maximum quantity of sixty-four Hydraulic Fluid Bulk Dispensing Unit, P/N: 101803-100MOD2 for the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) Program in support of the United States Navy (USN) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The key aspects of this opportunity include: • The procurement is for a sole-source basis with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) due to proprietary rights and the need for compatibility with the MQ-4C airframe. • The equipment is critical for performing required maintenance on MQ-4C aircraft, and any delay in acquiring this capability could result in aircraft being grounded. • The OEM is the only source capable of providing the required equipment within the required timeframe without causing unacceptable delays and harm to the MQ-4C program.
